About
The character 倮 is a left-right phono-semantic compound combining the human radical 亻 (rén), indicating a connection to people or the human body, with the phonetic 果 (guǒ) that gives its pronunciation. Its primary meaning is 'naked' or 'bare', referring to the body's exposure. While synonymous with the more common 裸 (luǒ) , which uses the clothing radical , 倮 emphasizes the human aspect of nudity and appears in classical descriptions of ancient tribes or cultural practices, though it has become much rarer in modern usage.
