U+80DC "胜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+80DC "胜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "victory," "to win," or "to surpass," and it is composed of the radical for "flesh" or "body" on the left and the phonetic component "生" on the right. In modern written Chinese, it is commonly used in words such as "胜利" meaning triumph, "战胜" meaning to defeat, and "胜任" meaning to be competent for a task. Historically, the character has roots in ancient oracle bone and bronze inscriptions, where its original form depicted overcoming or rising above, with later standardisation into its current compact shape. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is widely used across East Asian languages, including Japanese where it is read as "shō" or "katsu" and Korean where it is read as "seung."
