U+5B36 "嬶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嬶
U+5B36 "嬶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a traditional Japanese kanji, known in Japanese as "kakaa" or "nyōbō," where it colloquially means "wife" or "woman" and often carries a slightly pejorative or familiar connotation. This character is a composite of the radical for "woman" (女) on the left and the phonetic component "鼻" (nose) on the right, historically deriving from a regional or slang usage in Japan rather than from standard Chinese vocabulary, making it a distinctive glyph within the CJK unified ideographs block that sees limited modern usage.
