What 㾢 means
㾢 is an old character for serious or long-lasting illness.
Older Chinese glosses include 惡病 (“serious disease”) and 久疾 (“illness lasting a long time”). Japanese character references also list epidemic disease and 癩病, an older term for leprosy; these are dictionary glosses, not a precise medical diagnosis. The character includes 疒, the illness radical.
An entry for 㾢 appears in the tradition of 《說文》, an early Chinese dictionary compiled around 100 CE and presented at court in 121 CE. Those dates mark the dictionary record, not the invention of the character.
Archaic and lexicographic: expect it in historical text or dictionary discussion, not ordinary modern prose.
For a specific modern disease term, choose the form your source intends; 㾢 has broader historical glosses.
