U+5978 "奸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5978 "奸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "wicked," "evil," "treacherous," or "crafty," and it is historically associated with negative moral traits such as deception and disloyalty. In its most common modern usage, it appears in words like "奸诈" (treacherous) and "汉奸" (traitor to the Han Chinese), though it also carries an additional, more archaic meaning related to illicit sexual relations or adultery. The character is composed of the radical 女 (woman) on the left and the phonetic component 干 (gān) on the right, combining to form a classical symbol of moral corruption rather than any purely literal description.
