U+75C5 "病" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
病
U+75C5 "病" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems, where it represents the concept of "illness," "disease," or "sickness." Structurally, it combines the radical "疒" (meaning sickness or disease) on the left, which often indicates a medical condition, with the phonetic component "丙" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "bìng." This character appears frequently in medical contexts, such as in the word "病気" (byōki) in Japanese meaning illness, or in Chinese terms like "疾病" (jíbìng) for disease. Historically, its form has evolved from ancient oracle bone script, where it depicted a person lying on a bed, symbolizing physical affliction.
