U+778E "瞎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+778E "瞎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "blind" or "to lose one's sight," often used metaphorically to describe doing something aimlessly or without understanding, such as in the common expression "瞎说" meaning "to talk nonsense." This character is composed of the radical "目" (eye) on the left, indicating its visual association, and the phonetic component "害" (harm) on the right, suggesting a connection to injury or impairment. It is widely employed in both written and spoken Chinese to convey literal or figurative blindness, as well as in certain technical contexts like Chinese computing standards where it is encoded as a unified Han character.
