U+5AB5 "媵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5AB5 "媵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a classical Chinese character meaning a concubine, specifically one who accompanied a bride as part of her dowry in ancient marriage customs, or more generally a maidservant or attendant. It is composed of the radical for woman (女) alongside phonetic components, reflecting its historical context in feudal China where such women were often sent to serve a noble family. While rarely used in modern Mandarin, it occasionally appears in literary, historical, or genealogical texts, and its existence in the Unicode standard helps preserve this nuanced aspect of ancient social structure for digital representation.
