Unicode Version 17.0
牲
U+7272 "牲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "sacrificial animal" or "livestock," historically referring to animals like cattle, sheep, or pigs used in ritual offerings to ancestors or deities. In modern usage, it also appears in compound words such as "牲口" (shēngkou, meaning "draft animal") and "牺牲" (xīshēng, meaning "to sacrifice"), reflecting its core semantic connection to devotion, offering, and the giving up of something valuable. The character is composed of the radical 牛 (cow) and the phonetic component 生 (shēng, meaning life or birth), symbolically linking the concept of living creatures dedicated to a higher purpose.
