U+5B22 "嬢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嬢
U+5B22 "嬢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese as the kanji "嬢" (jō). It carries the general meaning of a young woman or daughter, often with a connotation of endearment or respect, and is frequently found in Japanese compound words such as "お嬢様" (ojōsama), meaning a young lady or princess. In Chinese contexts, it is a variant form of the character "娘" (niáng), which refers to a mother or a young woman, though "嬢" is less commonly used in modern standard Chinese. The character is composed of the radical "女" (woman) and the phonetic component "襄" (xiāng), which contributes to its pronunciation and meaning.
