萦
U+8426 "萦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to entangle, to wind around, or to hover and linger, often used in contexts describing thoughts, feelings, or physical objects that are intertwined or persistently occupy one’s mind. In traditional and simplified Chinese, it is commonly found in compound words such as "萦绕" (yíngrào), which means to linger or to be filled with a particular emotion or thought.
