U+5AFC "嫼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5AFC "嫼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a logogram that combines the radical for woman (女) with a phonetic component. Its traditional meaning relates to a woman with a dark or sullen complexion, often associated with anger or an ashen face due to emotional distress, and it appears in classical Chinese texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary. While not common in modern usage, it exemplifies how ancient characters encoded nuanced expressions of human emotion and physical appearance through radical-phonetic composition.
