U+5AE6 "嫦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嫦
U+5AE6 "嫦" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character primarily used in the name "Chang'e" (嫦娥), the legendary moon goddess in Chinese mythology, who is famously associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival. This ideograph comprises the radical "女" (woman) on the left and the phonetic component "常" (often, constant) on the right, reflecting its role in a feminine name. In contemporary usage, the character also appears in terms like "嫦娥奔月" (Chang'e flying to the moon), and it has been adopted as the namesake for China's lunar exploration program, including the Chang'e spacecraft series.
