U+75FE "痾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+75FE "痾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, primarily meaning "illness," "disease," or "chronic ailment." In its original context, the character is composed of the radical "疒" (sickness), which indicates a medical or pathological association, combined with the phonetic component "可" (kě) to suggest pronunciation. This character appears in classical Chinese medical texts and historical literature to describe lingering or severe health conditions, though in modern standard Chinese it has largely been replaced by the simplified character "疴" or other synonyms. Its usage persists in certain formal or literary expressions, such as the phrase "沉痾" (chén kē), meaning a deep or intractable disease.
