U+6BAD "殭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
殭
U+6BAD "殭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "stiff" or "rigid," often used in the context of a corpse that has become stiff after death, and it is also the first character in the term "殭屍" (jiāngshī), which translates to "zombie" or "jiangshi," a reanimated corpse from Chinese folklore. Historically, this character combines the radical 歹 (meaning "death" or "bad") with a phonetic component to convey the idea of dead matter that has hardened or lost flexibility. In modern usage, it appears in both literary descriptions and popular culture, particularly in references to the traditional hopping vampire figure.
