U+5B46 "孆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5B46 "孆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character from the Kangxi radical 38, representing the concept of "woman" or "female" and historically used as a variant of the character "婴" (yīng), which denotes an infant or young child. This complex logogram consists of three components: the radical "女" (woman) on the left, combined with two "贝" (shell or money) characters and "月" (moon) elements on the right, though its exact semantic nuance remains obscure in modern usage. Unlike its more common counterpart "婴," "孆" appears primarily in classical texts or specialized dictionaries, not in contemporary writing, and is classified as a CJK Unified Ideograph to ensure digital representation across platforms and languages.
