U+50B7 "傷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+50B7 "傷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that commonly means "wound," "injury," "to wound," or "to hurt," encompassing both physical harm and emotional distress. In its traditional form, the character combines the radical for "person" on the left with elements related to "easy" or "change" on the right, though its etymology more directly relates to the concept of striking or damaging the body. This character appears in all three major East Asian writing systems that use Chinese characters: Mandarin Chinese (shāng), Japanese (kizu or shō), and Korean (sang). It is a versatile term found in compounds such as "傷害" (shānghài, meaning "to injure" or "damage") in Chinese, and in Japanese it appears in words like "負傷" (fushō, "to be wounded"). "傷" is thus a fundamental character in East Asian languages for expressing harm or impairment.
