Character Story & Explanation
憃 (chōng) is a rare character meaning 'foolish, stupid, dull, silly'. It combines the heart radical (心) with the phonetic 舂 (chōng, 'pound'), suggesting a mind that is 'pounded' or muddled. In classical texts, it describes naive silliness rather than malice, reflecting a Chinese view that folly often stems from a confused heart rather than wickedness.
