Character Story & Explanation
In a Beijing hospital, a pregnant woman points to her ultrasound and says '妚' (pēi), meaning 'embryo'. This rare character is used in medical contexts to refer to an unborn offspring in the earliest stage of development. It combines the radical 女 (woman, female) with 不 (no, not), possibly hinting at 'not yet a woman' or 'not yet formed'. Though uncommon in daily life, it's crucial for medical terminology related to embryology.
