[edit] Summary

A look at the history of Chinese character Unicode U5974.

Above: a schematized form of the earliest (quasi-pictographic) versions of this character, showing an apparent kneeling woman on the left, and a depiction of a right hand on the right.

Below: one particular quasi-calligraphic modern rendering of this character.

For vector versions of these graphics, see: [1]

The character displays in your browser as follows: 奴
