The Character Meng "Dream"
This is the character that represents the word DREAM in Asian languages that use Chinese characters for writing.
This character originally meant hazy vision but now means the hazy blurry things you see at night and was once written with eye at the bottom where evening is now.
In Cantonese and Hakka it's mung but Minnan uses bang. Korean has mong and SinoViet mong mo and giac and Japanese has MU and yume so the Old Chinese form was probably mung.
There's a modern simplified form that my computer refused to generate with 68a6 for Unicode.
Enjoy this technozi. I'm playing with a few variants for my Cafepress Shop that I'll show you soon.
