U+7634 "瘴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
瘴
U+7634 "瘴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes miasma, which historically refers to a noxious or pestilential vapor believed to emanate from swamps or damp, tropical environments and cause disease. Its radical, "疒" (the sickness radical), indicates a connection to illness or ailment, while the phonetic component "章" contributes to its pronunciation (zhàng in Mandarin). In classical Chinese medical and literary contexts, the character "瘴" is often associated with the concept of "瘴气" (zhàngqì), a term used to describe the toxic air thought to be responsible for fevers and other maladies in southern or mountainous regions, reflecting ancient understandings of environmental health and disease causation.
