鼻

U+9F3B "鼻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that represents the word for "nose" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it is used in both everyday vocabulary and classical texts.

In modern usage, 鼻 appears in terms like 鼻子 (bízi) for the physical nose, 鼻腔 (bíqiāng) for the nasal cavity, and 鼻音 (bíyīn) for nasal sounds in linguistics, and it also carries symbolic meanings in idioms and cultural expressions, such as representing pride or directness.
