About
The character 鬅 is a phono-semantic compound describing unkempt or disheveled hair. It combines the semantic radical 髟 (biāo), meaning "hair", with the phonetic component 朋 (péng), which provides the pronunciation but no semantic meaning. This structure captures the concept of a messy, untied hairstyle. In literature, it often appears in binomial phrases like 鬅鬆 to emphasize a loose, untidy appearance.
