Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5C38 "尸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a significant East Asian character that originally depicts a corpse or a person lying down, and it serves as a radical in the Chinese Kangxi system, where it is the 44th radical. In modern usage, this character primarily means "corpse" or "dead body" in Chinese and Japanese, and it is also a component in other characters, often contributing meanings related to the body, posture, or death. Despite its morbid literal sense, it appears in various common compounds, such as 尸体 (shītǐ) for "corpse" in Chinese or 尸骸 (shigai) in Japanese, and it is distinct from the similar-looking but unrelated character 户 meaning "door" or "household."
