U+53AE "厮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
厮
U+53AE "厮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means a male servant, attendant, or menial laborer, often used in classical texts to refer to low-ranking helpers or retainers. It carries a somewhat informal or even pejorative tone in certain contexts, and it appears in compound terms like 厮打 (to fight, literally servant fighting) or 厮混 (to hang around or mingle aimlessly). Morphologically, it is composed of the radical 厂 (cliff) and a phonetic component 斯, integrating semantic and phonetic elements typical of Chinese writing. While less common in modern vernacular, it remains present in literary or historical references and fixed expressions.
