Character Story & Explanation
嫬 (zhē) is an obscure character found in ancient Chinese records, exclusively used in female names. Its structure combines the radical 女 (nǚ, 'woman') with 庶 (shù, 'numerous'), possibly suggesting a woman of many virtues or abundant grace. Today, it is virtually extinct in modern usage, surviving only in historical texts as a remnant of naming conventions.
