About
The character 髳 is a phono-semantic compound: the top component 髟 (hair) gives the meaning, while the bottom component 矛 indicates the sound. Its basic sense is a hairstyle, bangs or a thick fringe falling over the forehead. It was also used historically as the name of an ancient tribe, but its construction remains anchored in the depiction of hair.
