"Ick!" is that way in English, too. "Ick!" <=> "Yuck!" <=> "Ewww!"

Shouldn't ICK be pronounced eek? Which would make it similar in meaning to "eek", which is very different from yuck or eww.
And besides the chet makes it sound a whole lot worse
Nope, it's an exclamation of disgust, "ick" rhymes with "sick." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ick
