Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+96CC "雌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that fundamentally denotes the female sex in animals, including humans, and is often translated as "female," "feminine," or "she." It is composed of the radical 隹 (zhuī), representing a short-tailed bird, combined with the phonetic component 此 (cǐ, meaning "this"), and it appears with this meaning across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In classical and modern usage, it forms the core of words like 雌性 (cíxìng, "female sex") and contrasts with the male counterpart 雄 (xióng), and it also appears in specialized biological terms such as 雌蕊 (círuǐ, "pistil," the female reproductive part of a flower).
