Tips

usage
Survives mostly in the idiom 美轮美奂, praising a building as grand and beautifully built. Rarely used alone in modern Chinese.

Components

ideograph
⺈ dāo
wrapping top
An abstract top element with no independent meaning here; it forms the upper cap of the character, sitting above and framing the body beneath it.
ideograph
央 yāng
center
The lower body, visually the same shape as 央 (center). Here it is a stylized residue rather than a meaning-bearing part; the whole character conveys grand abundance.

Filed under radical 大 (dà, #37) by convention. 大 is not a separate component in 奂, so no strokes are highlighted.
