About
The character 痕 uses the sickness radical 疒 as its outer frame, indicating a connection to illness, injury, or bodily harm. Inside this frame is the phonetic component 艮, which provides the character's pronunciation. Originally, 痕 referred specifically to a scar, blemish, or mark remaining on skin after a wound or disease healed. Over time, its meaning broadened to include any visible trace, stain, or imprint left by an event, object, or action on any surface or in any context.
