About
The character 娥 is a phono-semantic compound. The left component, the female radical 女, provides its semantic category related to women, while the right component 我 functions as the phonetic element, indicating the pronunciation "e". Historically, the character primarily described a woman of beauty or elegance, often used in classical literature for court ladies or refined maidens. It is also closely linked to the moon goddess Chang'e, and through this association, 娥 came to be used as a poetic term for the moon in literary works.
