U+5993 "妓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically and primarily refers to a female performer, entertainer, or courtesan, often associated with music and dance in ancient contexts, but in modern usage it is most commonly understood as a term for a prostitute or sex worker, carrying a strong negative and derogatory connotation. Its radical is the "女" (woman) component, and its phonetic element is "支" (zhi), combining to form a character that has evolved in meaning over centuries from a more neutral artistic role to a stigmatized and sensitive designation in contemporary language.
