U+80C4 "胄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
胄
U+80C4 "胄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "helmet" or "descendant of a noble family," with its historical roots in ancient China. Composed of a "meat" or "flesh" radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, it originally referred to a protective helmet worn in battle, as seen in the compound "甲胄" meaning armor and helmet. Over time, it also acquired the familial meaning of "lineage" or "offspring," particularly in terms like "胄裔" referring to descendants of royalty or nobility, and it remains in modern usage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts for these concepts.
