About
The character 儇 combines the person radical 亻 on the left, signaling a human quality, with the phonetic 睘 on the right. As an adjective, it can describe someone extremely quick-witted and agile, both mentally and physically, but in classical Chinese it often takes on a pejorative nuance, denoting a superficial, flippant, or frivolous person, a cleverness without moral depth or seriousness.
