U+7666 "癦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7666 "癦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in Cantonese and some other regional contexts, where it represents a mole or nevus on the skin, typically spelled as "maak6" in Jyutping or "mèhng" in Yale romanization. It is composed of the disease radical 疒 (chuáng, meaning sickness or illness) over a phonetic component, reflecting its classification as a medical term for a benign skin growth. This character appears in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, though it is less common in standard Mandarin, where the word for mole is more often expressed as 痣 (zhì).
