About
The character "娥" is constructed from the semantic radical 女, denoting woman, and the phonetic component 我, which historically provided pronunciation cues while also suggesting notions of self or individuality. Initially employed in classical texts to signify a beautiful or graceful woman, its meaning became culturally anchored through the legend of the moon goddess Chang'e, permanently linking the character to ideals of celestial femininity and aesthetic refinement. Over time, its semantic range has consistently centered on descriptions of feminine beauty, preserving its role primarily in poetic language, personal names, and allusions to mythological elegance without significant deviation from its original connotations.
