殻

U+6BBB "殻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and a Japanese kanji, primarily meaning "shell," "husk," "hull," or "casing" in English. It is commonly used in East Asian languages to refer to hard outer coverings of nuts, eggs, or other objects, as well as in compound words like "殻虫" (shell insect) or "地殻" (the Earth's crust). This character falls under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is composed of the radical "殳" (weapon or striking) combined with other components, though its simplified counterpart "壳" is more frequently used in modern Chinese.
