Character Story & Explanation
昒 (hū) is a rare character meaning 'daybreak' or 'dawn'. It combines 日 (sun) and 勿 (negation) but doesn't imply 'no sun' — rather, it suggests the moment light appears. Used in classical texts, it's not common in modern Chinese. You'll encounter it in poetry or historical writings.
