Character Story & Explanation
摀 (wǔ) combines the hand radical 扌 with 屋 (house), suggesting the action of covering with one's hand. Ancient texts show it was used to describe covering the mouth or ears, often in contexts of suppressing sound or emotion. This character is less common than its variant 捂, but carries the same core meaning of concealing or obstructing.
