U+5F12 "弒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5F12 "弒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that conveys the meaning of assassinating or killing a superior, such as a ruler, parent, or elder, which is considered a grave violation of Confucian hierarchical ethics. Its structure combines the radical for "spear" or "lance" (戈) with components suggesting a violent act, and it is historically distinct from the more general character for "kill" (殺), as it specifically denotes regicide or patricide. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and historical records to describe taboo acts of treason or filial impiety, and it remains in use in modern Traditional Chinese and Japanese writing for literary or legal contexts.
