U+5AEB "嫫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嫫
U+5AEB "嫫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the radical for woman (女) and consisting of 12 strokes. In historical and classical Chinese texts, it specifically refers to a legendary figure, Mo Mu, who was famously regarded as an exceptionally ugly woman during the time of the Yellow Emperor, yet she was respected for her virtue and wisdom. The character is rarely used in modern everyday language, appearing instead in literary or mythological contexts to denote ugliness or, by extension, a virtuous appearance paired with plain looks. Its composition includes the phonetic component "莫" which hints at its pronunciation of "mó" in Mandarin.
