U+5B2C "嬬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嬬

U+5B2C "嬬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts, particularly in the context of Japanese kanji, where it is used to represent the concept of a "young woman" or "concubine" in some traditional terms, though it is not common in modern standard Chinese. Its shape combines the radical for "woman" (女) on the left with a phonetic component on the right that suggests a reading related to "weak" or "soft." In Japanese, it appears as part of the name "嬬恋" (Tsumagoi), a town in Gunma Prefecture, and is also linked to the word "嬬" (tsuma) meaning "spouse" or "wife" in archaic usage. Overall, this character holds a niche position in East Asian typography, valued more for its historical and regional specificity than for everyday communication.
