U+59CA "姊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+59CA "姊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents an older sister, specifically an elder female sibling, and is commonly used in formal or traditional contexts, such as in the term "姊妹" meaning sisters. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical for "woman" (女) and the phonetic component "𠂔" indicating its pronunciation as "zǐ" in Mandarin. It appears in historical texts and modern usage in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though in everyday Chinese conversation it is often replaced by the character "姐" for the same meaning. The glyph may vary slightly across different fonts and regional standards but consistently denotes the concept of an older sister.
