U+8D25 "败" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8D25 "败" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to defeat," "to fail," or "to be defeated," reflecting a sense of loss or reversal in battle, competition, or endeavor. Composed of the radical "贝" (shell, representing wealth or value) and the component "攵" (action, often related to striking or influence), it visually suggests the idea of diminishing or destroying value through an external force. Historically rooted in classical Chinese texts, the character also extends metaphorically to concepts like "to spoil" or "to ruin," and appears in common compounds such as "失败" meaning failure.
