U+80E0 "胠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+80E0 "胠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "armpit" or "side of the body" and also carries the extended meaning of "to open" or "to lift," such as opening a box or a book. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in the compound "胠箧" (qū qiè), which refers to the act of opening a chest or stealing from it, famously used in the Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi's parable about thieves. The character is composed of the radical for meat or flesh (⺼) on the left, indicating its physical association with the body, and the phonetic component "去" (qù) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. Historically, "胠" is less common in modern usage but retains significance in literary and philosophical contexts.
