About

This character is used almost exclusively for the name of Mount Emei in Sichuan. It is a phono-semantic compound: the semantic radical 山 on the left classifies it as a mountain or terrain, while 眉 on the right provides the phonetic reading. Due to this narrow usage, the character 嵋 functions solely as a proper noun for this specific location, with no extended or abstract meanings.
