U+9B45 "魅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B45 "魅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character whose primary meaning is "glamour," "charm," or "seductive spirit," often associated with supernatural allure or ghostly enchantment in East Asian cultures. Its structure combines the radical "鬼" (ghost, demon) on the left with the phonetic component "未" on the right, underlying its connection to eerie or mystical attractiveness. In modern Chinese and Japanese, this character is commonly used in words like "魅力" (mèilì in Chinese, miryoku in Japanese), which means "charm" or "fascination," as well as in terms for "temptress" or "demoness." The character thus carries a nuanced connotation of captivating beauty that can be either enchanting or dangerous, bridging mythological and everyday language across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
