What 嬫 means
It is a rare character for a woman's personal name.
《集韻》, completed in 1039, is the earliest dictionary witness documented here; 《說文》 does not record 嬫. Taiwan's Ministry of Education entry then points to later records in 《類篇》, 《四聲篇海》, 《字彙》 and 《正字通》. This is a dictionary trail, not a proven pictographic origin story.
Use it as a name character, not a general word. A Ming court record gives the emperor's daughter the name 朱瑞嬫, dated 1541–1544. Its 女-plus-榮 construction connects it graphically to 榮, but the dictionary record treats 嬫 as its own character, not a variant of 荣/榮.
Register: personal-name use; expect readers to need context.
Sending it alone can look like an unexplained name fragment.

1荣 / 榮 榮 is the standalone character; 嬫 adds 女 on the left and is a separate name character.
Questions people ask
1Why does 嬫 appear as a box?
It is a font-coverage problem. This is a text character, so a missing glyph or fallback font can show a box or alter the strokes; that display difference does not create a new meaning.
