About
The character 瞢 combines the grass radical 艹 at the top with components representing eyes and covers, creating a primary meaning of darkness or impaired vision. This visual obstruction extends metaphorically to mental states, leading to secondary meanings of ignorance or confusion. Historically, it has been used to describe dim light or bewilderment, often in compound words, while retaining its full structural form.
