Help identifying a complex kanji found in a magazine

[rmpressler_520097]

I have a collection of Japanese magazines and books that I use to aid my learning. I am usually able to find the kanji without issue but this one is a doozie. The images are huge so I don't want to embed them as they'll take up the whole screen:

I've tried using the Google Translate app's kanji drawing capability. Usually, it will find me the kanji, then I can copy/paste the typed character into jisho.org. However, this one is so complex and kind of hard to identify every stroke against the background in the magazine, so I think I'm making mistakes drawing it that prevent the app from correctly identifying it.

I also tried using jisho.org's radical search to no avail. I'm still quite rusty identifying radicals in 10+ stroke kanji.

I even poured over every kanji listed in Wikipedia's kanji page between 14 and 16 strokes several times and could not find it.

I was hoping someone here might be able to identify it and just type it into the forum so I can plug it into jisho.org and go from there :emoji_smile:

Thanks!

The red arrow in the images is pointing to 犠牲 (ぎせい), which means victim or scapegoat. Here's the mystery kanji a bit larger:-

犠

マイケル

Hi Richard,

Thank you for posting the question.

Here's Jisho.org page for the word 犠牲.
