Character Story & Explanation
旽 (tūn) depicts the morning sun rising, symbolizing new beginnings and vitality. Though archaic, it appears in classical texts to evoke the fresh energy of dawn. Its structure combines 日 (sun) with 屯 (to accumulate), suggesting the sun gathering light before emerging. In Chinese cosmology, sunrise represents the balance of yin and yang, initiating daily renewal.
