U+80A9 "肩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
肩
U+80A9 "肩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) that broadly means "shoulder" in English. It is composed of the radical for flesh or body part (⺼) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right, and is used in various compounds such as "肩膀" (shoulder) in Chinese, "肩書" (title or position) in Japanese, and "肩胛" (scapula) in medical contexts across all three languages. This character also appears in idiomatic expressions like "肩を並べる" (to stand shoulder to shoulder) and is integral to describing physical posture or responsibility in East Asian writing systems.
