U+765E "癞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+765E "癞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "leprosy" or "scabies" and is often used in modern Chinese to refer to skin diseases characterized by sores, scabs, or eruptions, such as leprosy. It is composed of the radical 疒 (chuáng), indicating illness or disease, combined with the phonetic component 赖 (lài), which contributes to its pronunciation. This character appears in classical and medical texts, and in contemporary usage, it can also carry a derogatory sense when describing something as "disgusting" or "worthless," though its primary meaning remains medical.
