U+6BB0 "殰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

殰

U+6BB0 "殰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character used in classical literature to denote the death of a fetus or an infant before birth, often translated as "stillborn" or "to die in the womb." It belongs to the radical 歹 (death or decay) and traditionally carries connotations of obstructed life or premature demise, appearing in ancient texts such as the "Shiji" in contexts of misfortune or biological failure. The character is composed of the phonetic component "賣" (to sell) combined with the signific for death, giving it a meaning tied to the concept of a life that is "stopped" or "blocked" before birth, though in modern usage it is extremely obscure and rarely encountered outside specialized historical or linguistic studies.
