U+761C "瘜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

瘜

U+761C "瘜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily denotes a nasal polyp or a fleshy growth in the nose, historically linked to medical texts describing conditions of the nasal passages. It is composed of the radical 疒 (illness or disease) on the left, indicating a pathological condition, and the phonetic component 息 (meaning "breath" or "rest") on the right, which suggests a connection to breathing or respiratory issues. This character is rarely used in modern everyday Chinese but appears in classical medical literature and traditional Chinese medicine contexts, where it specifically refers to a polypoid growth affecting airflow. Its usage underscores the nuanced vocabulary of historical Chinese medical terminology for localized growths or obstructions.
