U+8EBA "躺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8EBA "躺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to lie down" or "to recline," and is commonly used in modern Mandarin to describe the action of lying flat, often in a resting or relaxed position. It is composed of the radical 身 (body) on the left, indicating a connection to the body or physical form, and the phonetic component 尚 (shàng) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, this character appears across multiple East Asian writing systems, though its usage and exact meaning may vary slightly between languages; for example, in Japanese it can also carry the sense of "to lie down" but is less common than in Chinese. The character is frequently encountered in everyday contexts, such as describing someone lying on a bed (躺在床上) or in idioms like "lying down to win" (躺赢), which metaphorically refers to achieving success with minimal effort.
