About
嫒 (traditional: 嬡) is a phono-semantic compound: the female radical 女 situates it within the realm of women or female relationships, while 爱 (traditional 愛) provides the sound. The character is an honorific noun meaning 'daughter' (of the person addressed) and appears almost exclusively in the highly formal compound 令嫒, a respectful term for another family's daughter used in correspondence and polite conversation.
