U+7A88 "窈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
窈
U+7A88 "窈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a sense of deep, profound, or secluded beauty, often associated with gentle or graceful qualities. It is frequently used in classical Chinese literature and poetry, such as in the compound word "窈窕" (yǎotiǎo), which describes a woman as elegant, refined, and modestly attractive. The character combines the radical 穴 (cave) with the phonetic component 幼 (young), suggesting a hidden or inner depth. In modern contexts, "窈" retains its poetic and aesthetic connotations, though it is less common in everyday speech, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which supports the complex ideographic writing systems of East Asia.
