About
瘢 (bān) is a phono-semantic compound. The radical 疒 (nè), meaning sickness, frames its semantic category, while the inner component 般 (bān) provides the phonetic element. Historically, this character has denoted a scar or lasting blemish left on the skin after a wound or sore has healed. While its primary reference is to physical cicatrices on the body, it can sometimes be used figuratively for enduring emotional trauma. The character is most often found in medical or descriptive contexts, notably in the compound word 瘢痕, which refers to scar tissue.
