U+75AB "疫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
疫
U+75AB "疫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in the context of disease and epidemics, with its core meaning relating to pestilence or plague. Etymologically, it combines the radical for sickness or illness, which is represented by the "疒" component, with a phonetic element that suggests the notion of easy transmission or spread. In modern usage, it is most prominently featured in the term "疫情" to refer to an epidemic or pandemic situation, and it gained global visibility during the COVID 19 pandemic as part of the Chinese word "新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情." The character thus carries deep cultural and historical significance, often evoking collective experiences of public health crises in East Asian societies.
