U+5C41 "屁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5C41 "屁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of flatulence or fart, composed of the radical "尸" (corpse or body) atop "比" (to compare or contrast), though its semantic meaning is rooted in colloquial and informal usage. In modern Chinese, it functions as a noun for intestinal gas and can also serve as an expletive or dismissive interjection, similar to "nonsense!" in English. Beyond its literal sense, the character appears in idiomatic expressions like "拍马屁" (to brownnose or flatter excessively) and "放屁" (to fart or talk rubbish), demonstrating its role in both physiological description and figurative language. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block underscores its integration into standard written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it retains a consistent meaning and phonetic approximation across different Sinitic languages.
