殍
U+6B8D "殍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of people dying from starvation or famine, specifically referring to those who perish due to extreme hunger or the victims of a famine. It is composed of the radical 歹 (meaning "death" or "decay") on the left, and the phonetic component 孚 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (piǎo in Mandarin). This character is historically significant in classical Chinese literature, often appearing in texts describing tragic periods of widespread food scarcity and suffering.
