U+5ABD "媽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character meaning "mother," composed of the radical for woman (女) on the left and the phonetic component 馬 (meaning horse, pronounced "ma") on the right, indicating its pronunciation in Mandarin as "mā." It is used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to refer to one's mother in a familiar or respectful manner, often appearing in compound words like "母親" (mǔqīn, mother) or as a direct term of address. The character reflects the cultural importance of maternal kinship in East Asian societies, and its simplified counterpart "妈" is widely used in modern Chinese writing.
