About
幔 is a phono-semantic compound comprising the radical 巾 (cloth) on the left, which anchors the meaning to textiles and hanging fabrics, and the component 曼 on the right, which supplies the sound and possibly a sense of extension. It refers to large fabric coverings such as curtains, screens, or canopies employed to enclose a space, provide privacy, or block out light within domestic or ceremonial settings. In essence, the character describes broad expanses of cloth draped or hung for practical architectural purposes or decorative shielding in traditional dwellings and temporary outdoor pavilions.
