弑
U+5F11 "弑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that denotes the act of killing a superior, such as a parent or a ruler, often implying regicide or patricide with a connotation of treachery and violation of ethical order. It is composed of the radical "杀" (to kill) and the phonetic component "式," and its historical usage appears in classical texts like the "Zuo Zhuan" to describe grave breaches of Confucian filial and hierarchical norms. This character carries a heavy cultural weight in East Asian civilizations, where such an act was considered one of the most severe sins against social and cosmic harmony.
