U+7738 "眸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

眸

U+7738 "眸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to the pupil of the eye, but in broader usage it denotes the eye itself or one's gaze and expression, often carrying poetic connotations of deep observation or emotional reflection. In classical Chinese literature, it frequently appears in phrases describing the brightness or clarity of a person's eyes, such as "明目眸" (bright eyes and clear pupils), and it remains a common component in modern vocabulary, combined with other characters to form words like "眼眸" (eyes, eyeballs) or "眸子" (pupil, or figuratively, a person's gaze). The character's structure combines the radical for eye (目, Mù) with the phonetic component "牟" (Móu), which hints at its sound and meaning, reinforcing its visual and semantic link to sight and perception across centuries of written Chinese tradition.
