We don't have a single Chinese character for "Torture", indeed Chinese words are often in pairs.

Depending on the sense you prefer, the characters for Torture can be -
酷刑 (acute corporal punishment) or
折磨 (verb or noun for torture which can be corporal or emotional or psychological)

Check the site below. It gives you many Chinese symbols in several "dialects". I have linked you to to the main page. I found torture in Mandarin, but it will not hold the search criteria, so you will need to search yourself. Hope this helps.

There is no single symbol for the word torture.Words are usually two symbols or more.

痛苦[tong ku]

A possible translation. =)
