U+903C "逼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
逼
U+903C "逼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings of coercion, compulsion, or pressing closely, such as in the verb "to force" or "to urge." It is composed of the radical for movement or walking, suggesting an action of cornering or approaching with pressure, and it appears in common compound words like 逼迫 (bīpò, to compel) or 逼近 (bījìn, to close in on). In modern usage outside of formal contexts, it also carries a vulgar slang meaning in internet vernacular, often serving as a euphemism for a profane term, though its core traditional use remains centered on the concept of urgency or duress.
