Character Story & Explanation
婹 (yǎo) is a rare character meaning 'svelte' or 'slender and graceful'. It is often used in classical literature to describe a woman's delicate waist or elegant posture. The left radical 女 (woman) indicates its connection to feminine beauty. While uncommon in modern Chinese, it appears in poetic contexts to evoke a sense of refined elegance.
