What 痍 means
A wound or injury.
An early form appears in Qin clerical script, an old Chinese writing style (221–206 BCE). Around 100 CE, Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, glossed 痍 as “injury”; an older gloss narrows it to an arrow wound.
Chinese 伤痍 means wounds; 疮痍满目 describes devastation everywhere. Japanese uses 痍 in formal compounds like 傷痍 and 瘡痍. 夷 supplies its sound, not meaning. As of 2026, fonts may alter its stroke shapes without changing the character.
Formal and literary in Chinese; usually used in compounds, not alone.

1Why does 痍 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
