瞌
U+778C "瞌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to doze off or feel sleepy, often used in compound words like "瞌睡" (kē shuì) meaning drowsy or to nod off. It combines the radical for eye (目) with the phonetic component "盍" (hé), visually suggesting the act of the eyes closing or drooping with fatigue. This character appears in written Chinese and other East Asian scripts such as Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar connotations of sleepiness and is used in both literary and everyday contexts to describe the state of being on the verge of falling asleep.
