About
眉 is a pictographic and ideographic character. Its base incorporates the eye radical 目, with strokes above depicting the eyebrow hair growing over the eye. It has always meant "eyebrow", referring directly to the facial feature. Because the eyebrow sits atop the face and plays a key role in expression, the character extended metaphorically to mean the upper edge or margin of objects, such as the top of a page. It also frequently appears in compounds describing mood or facial expressions.
