Tips

usage
Bound character: it lives in 溃疡 (ulcer), as in 胃溃疡 (stomach ulcer) and 口腔溃疡 (mouth ulcer). The sickness radical 疒 marks it as a medical term.

Components

radical
疒 nè
sickness; illness (radical)
Outer sickness radical 疒, a person on a sickbed leaned against a wall. It frames 疡 as a bodily affliction - sores and ulcers.
phonetic
昜 yáng
rising sun; bright (archaic)
Inside the sickness frame, 昜 supplies the exact sound yáng. It is the old graph behind 阳 and 扬; here it works purely as the phonetic.
