啤pí

Simplified Chinese (簡體). 啤 (pí) is a modern phono-semantic creation, pairing the mouth radical 口 with the phonetic component 比 to approximate the English "beer." The semantic choice is apt—口 signifies consumption, reminding us that this character exists because Chinese needed a word for the frothy Western drink. Today it appears almost exclusively in 啤酒, the word that brought beer into the Chinese lexicon.
