About
聂 is the simplified form of the traditional character 聶, which triples the ear radical 耳, three copies stacked together, to emphasize collective or intensified listening. In the simplified version, 耳 is placed above 双, a component meaning "pair", so two ears replace the original three while preserving the idea of multiple ears. Originally the character referred to whispering, speaking softly into someone's ear, or listening attentively. In modern usage, it serves almost exclusively as a surname.
