Source: Browser Default
U+5AC2 "嫂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "older brother's wife" or "sister-in-law," used in both modern Mandarin and Classical Chinese contexts. It is composed of the radical 女 (woman) on the left, indicating its female association, and the phonetic component 叟 (meaning "old man") on the right, which gives a clue to its pronunciation as "sǎo" in Mandarin. This character is commonly found in family-related terms, such as 嫂子 (sǎozi) for "elder brother's wife," and it appears in cultural expressions and literature representing familial respect and hierarchy. Its historical use dates back to ancient Chinese texts, where it denoted a specific kinship role within the extended family structure.
