What is the Chinese symbol for cousin?

There isn't a single Chinese symbol that specifically represents "cousin."

Chinese uses different terms for different types of cousins depending on their relationship to you and your parents:

* 堂兄/堂弟 (Táng Xiōng / Táng Dì): Male cousin from the same paternal uncle

* 堂姐/堂妹 (Táng Jiě / Táng Mèi): Female cousin from the same paternal uncle

* 表兄/表弟 (Biǎo Xiōng / Biǎo Dì): Male cousin from the same maternal uncle

* 表姐/表妹 (Biǎo Jiě / Biǎo Mèi): Female cousin from the same maternal uncle

Each of these terms has a specific character combination, but there's no one symbol that encompasses all types of cousins.
