U+80C3 "胃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+80C3 "胃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) script, representing the concept of the stomach. In Chinese, it is pronounced "wèi" in Mandarin and is a key component in medical and anatomical terms, often appearing in words related to digestion, such as "胃病" (stomach disease) or "胃口" (appetite). The character is composed of the radical "月" (meat or flesh) on the left, indicating its association with the body, and "田" on the right, which once suggested a field and now contributes to the overall form. This ideograph reflects the ancient understanding of the stomach as a vital organ for processing food, and it remains in common use across East Asian languages for both literal and metaphorical expressions involving the belly or appetite.
