U+7663 "癣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7663 "癣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both Traditional and Simplified scripts, primarily denoting a type of skin disease commonly referred to as "ringworm" or "tinea" in English. This character represents a fungal infection that causes itchy, scaly patches on the skin, and it appears in medical contexts as well as in everyday language to describe conditions like athlete's foot or scalp ringworm. Its structure combines the radical for "disease" (疒) with the phonetic component 鲜 (xiān), indicating both the semantic field of illness and a clue to its pronunciation. As a standard part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs repertoire, it is encoded for digital text representation across multiple East Asian writing systems, though its usage is most common in Chinese.
