U+5351 "卑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卑
U+5351 "卑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of low, humble, or base in status, quality, or value. It often appears in words related to inferiority or modesty, such as 卑鄙 (despicable) or 自卑 (inferiority complex). Historically, the character's composition combines elements suggesting a hand striking something, reflecting an original sense of lowliness or subjugation. In modern usage, 卑 retains this nuanced connotation across multiple East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it can describe both tangible low positions and abstract concepts of moral or social debasement.
