Character Story & Explanation
憍 (jiāo) means 'arrogant' or 'haughty'. It combines the radical 心 (heart/mind) with 喬 (tall/lofty), suggesting a mind that is 'lofty' or 'puffed up'. This character is less common than 驕 (also jiāo, arrogant), but carries a similar meaning, often used in literary or classical contexts to describe excessive pride.
