U+5B8D "宍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5B8D "宍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian logogram traditionally used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing, though it is now considered archaic or rare in modern usage. It originally means "flesh" or "meat," serving as an early variant of the more common character 肉 (ròu in Mandarin, niku in Japanese), and it reflects the ancient pictographic representation of a piece of meat or animal tissue. In historical texts, it appears in compounds related to physical substance or body parts, and its structure combines the "roof" radical (宀) with inner strokes suggesting marrow or flesh.
