About
The character 眉, meaning 'eyebrow', originated as a pictograph depicting an eye with the eyebrow above it, and its structure in both traditional and modern forms combines the component 目 for 'eye' with a stylized graphical element representing the eyebrow itself. This pictorial element gradually simplified into its current configuration while retaining its association with the facial feature. Although the core meaning has always centered on the eyebrow, the character has extended to describe analogous edges or margins, such as the brow of a hill or the top margin of a page, based on its positional resemblance.
