Radical ⽞ (xuán) — meaning: profound, 5 strokes.
Origin & mnemonic
This radical originates from a pictograph depicting spinning or circular motion, which was extended metaphorically to express the concepts of "profound," "remote," or "mysterious"—things that are hidden or difficult to perceive.
Mnemonic: The shape resembles a twisted hair or spinning snare, helping you remember that profound and mysterious things are easily "caught" by our limited understanding.
