Unicode Version 17.0
肠
U+80A0 "肠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the word for "intestine" or "gut," commonly used in modern written Chinese and other East Asian languages that adopt Han characters. Structurally, it is composed of the radical for "flesh" or "meat" on the left side, indicating its association with body parts, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation. This character appears frequently in medical and biological contexts, such as in terms for "intestinal tract" or "colon," and is also used metaphorically in phrases like "肠断" (heartbreak, literally "intestine breaking") to convey deep emotional distress.
