U+6B7B "死" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
死
U+6B7B "死" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a standard logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems, representing the concept of death. Its basic structure combines the component meaning "bones" or "remains" with the radical for "person," visually signifying mortality. In Chinese culture, the character carries deep philosophical and spiritual weight, often associated with the inevitable end of life, and is used in contexts ranging from everyday language to classical poetry and Buddhism. Beyond literal death, it can figuratively denote stillness, cessation, or extreme intensity, such as in compounds meaning "deadlock" or "deadly."
