孬

U+5B6C "孬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that combines the elements for "not good" or "bad," reflecting its meaning of inferiority or worthlessness. It is structurally formed by placing the character for "bad" or "evil" (歹) atop the character for "woman" (女), though its etymology is often interpreted as a phonetic and semantic compound rather than a direct literal depiction. This character is used in modern Chinese to express concepts like "no good," "lousy," or "weak," and it is classified as a Level 2 hanzi in the Unicode standard, appearing in texts and fonts that support East Asian scripts.
