肋
U+808B "肋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a "rib" or "ribs" in the human body. It is composed of the radical for flesh or meat, 月, on the left side, and the phonetic component 力 on the right, which also contributes to its meaning of strength or force. This character appears in various East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it is used in medical, anatomical, and everyday contexts to refer to the rib cage or related structures.
