操 肏 Character It’s Dirty Means Cào Fuck

肏 cào, more commonly written 操 cāo 

Fuck. The character 肏 is visually quite graphic, as it is composed of 入 rù (roo), “enter,” and 肉 ròu (row), “meat.” 肏 is technically the correct character for “fuck,” but because it is not included in most computer or phone-character input systems, and because it’s just so uncomfortably dirty looking, most people write the homophonous 操 (which actually means “hold”). 肏 Cào / 操 cāo is mainly used for swearing—for example 肏你妈! Cào nǐ mā! (tsow nee ma), which means “Fuck your mother!” or “Fuck you”—and not usually to describe actual sex. If it is used in the context of actual sex, it’s extremely dirty and also very derogatory.
