U+7662 "癢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
癢
U+7662 "癢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the concept of "itch" or "to itch," often used in medical or sensory contexts to describe an irritating skin sensation. In traditional Chinese, it is commonly paired with words like 瘙癢 (sào yǎng) meaning "itching" or 搔癢 (sāo yǎng) meaning "to scratch an itch." This character belongs to the radical 疒 (illness or sickness) and contains the phonetic component 養 (yǎng), which also carries a broader semantic hint related to discomfort or irritation. Its simplified counterpart, 痒 (U+75D2), is more frequently used in modern Simplified Chinese, while 癢 remains standard in Traditional Chinese writing and classical texts.
