Unicode Version 17.0
屍
U+5C4D "屍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a corpse or dead body, distinct from the simplified Chinese equivalent "尸" which can also mean a corpse but more commonly denotes a person or body in a broader sense. This character is composed of the radical for corpse (尸) and typically conveys connotations of death, burial, or lifelessness, appearing in classical texts, literature, and formal contexts such as compound words like "屍體" meaning cadaver. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used across East Asian languages like Japanese and Korean, where it similarly denotes a deceased human form.
