Source: Browser Default
U+597C "奼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that in modern use is often a variant of the more common character "奼" or "姹", meaning a beautiful young woman, a fairy maiden, or a dazzling, enchanting appearance, and it is also historically used in Taoist contexts to refer to alchemical substances or virgin maidens. Its structure combines the radical for "woman" (女) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and it is traditionally pronounced as "chà" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical literature and compound words like "奼女" (chànǚ), which can refer to a beautiful girl or, in Taoist alchemy, to a mysterious elixir ingredient.
