屎
U+5C4E "屎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents excrement or feces, commonly used in East Asian languages such as Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its meaning is direct and often colloquial, appearing in both literal contexts related to bodily waste and figurative expressions like insults or metaphors for something unpleasant or worthless. In the Kangxi Dictionary, it is classified under the radical 尸 (corpse) with 9 strokes, and its historical form evolved from earlier pictographs depicting bodily waste. This character is distinct from the similar but unrelated character 尿 (urine) and is frequently used in informal writing or speech.
