U+80CE "胎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
胎
U+80CE "胎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "fetus," "embryo," or "birth," and is also used in a broader sense to refer to the beginning or origin of something. Composed of the radical for "meat" or "flesh" on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, it appears in words like "胎兒" (tāi'ér, meaning "fetus") and "胎教" (tāijiào, meaning "prenatal education"). Beyond its literal biological sense, it carries cultural weight in contexts such as "輪胎" (lúntāi, meaning "tire"), drawing a metaphorical connection to the idea of a supportive outer layer, and in phrases like "脫胎換骨" (tuō tāi huàn gǔ), which describes a fundamental transformation or rebirth.
