地獄 is the way that hell is written in modern Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

There's more than one way to express hell, but this is the one that has stood the test of time.

The second character means jail or prison.

You can also translate this word as infernal, inferno, Hades, or underworld.

陰司 is the ancient way to say “Hell” or “Netherworld” in Chinese.

This title can also refer to the officials of Hell or the judges of Hades or the Netherworld.

陰曹地府 can mean Hell, Hades, Kingdom of the Underworld, or the Netherworld.

When Chinese people talk about Hell, this is usually the term they use. Please note that this is a somewhat oral and informal word.
