About
The character 充 consists of the top component 亠 (a lid or covering) above 允 (meaning fair or to permit). Historically, its structure depicted a person, especially an infant, growing and expanding in physical mass. This core idea of growth and physical expansion developed into the meanings of becoming completely full, filling a void, or providing enough to meet a requirement. Its primary uses involve charging, stuffing, filling up, and substituting for something missing or insufficient.
