About
The character 萌 is composed of the grass radical 艹 positioned above the phonetic component 明, with its original meaning centered on the sprouting or budding of plants, a concept derived from the imagery of vegetation emerging into light. Its semantic range later broadened to include figurative notions of inception or initial stages. In more recent times, primarily through influence from Japanese media, the character has taken on an additional meaning referring to a quality of charming cuteness often attributed to fictional personas or certain visual styles.
