U+764C "癌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning cancer or carcinoma, commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is a logograph composed of two radicals: the top radical "疒" (chuáng), which signifies illness or disease, and the bottom radical "嵒" (yán), which provides a phonetic clue and also conveys a sense of a rugged mountain or rock. This character appears in medical contexts to refer to malignant tumors, with its usage reflecting a conceptual link between persistent, invasive growth and the image of a rocky, unyielding mass. In written form, it carries profound emotional weight due to its association with a serious, often life threatening condition.
