About
飖 is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 风 (wind) situates it in the realm of wind and airborne motion, while the component 䍃 indicates the pronunciation. Its traditional form 颻 uses the full wind radical 風. The character describes something floating, drifting, or being tossed about by the wind, especially light objects like leaves, kites, or garments. It appears in poetic and classical language to convey a sense of lightness and uncontrolled movement carried by air currents.
