Unicode Version 17.0
孁
U+5B41 "孁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character pronounced "líng" in Mandarin. It consists of the "rain" radical (⾬) at the top and a phonetic component below, with its classical meaning referring to a beautiful woman or a goddess, often used in ancient texts to denote a spirit or a female immortal. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing but appears in historical literature and classical poetry, making it of interest primarily to scholars of sinology and paleography. Its inclusion in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures that it can be digitally represented and preserved for academic and archival purposes.
