嫣
U+5AE3 "嫣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "charming," "lovely," or "beautiful," often used to describe a captivating smile or graceful appearance, as in the common phrase "嫣然一笑." It is a phono-semantic compound composed of the radical "女" (nǚ, meaning woman or female) on the left, suggesting femininity, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation as "yān" in Mandarin. This ideograph appears in classical literature and modern usage, evoking an elegant, soft beauty, and is occasionally employed in personal names or poetic contexts to convey a sense of refined allure.
