Tips

history
睘 ('to glance around startled / lonely') is archaic and not used independently in modern Chinese. It survives as the phonetic in 环 (ring / loop), 还 (to return), 寰 (the wide world), and 鬟 (a coil of hair).

Components

semantic
罒 wǎng
eye turned sideways
The top is a sideways 'eye' element; in 睘 it shows the wide, darting eye of an alarmed glance.
phonetic
袁 yuán
encircling robe element
The lower 'long robe' element supplies the sound and the 'encircling' flavor that 睘 passes to its ring-related family.

Filed under radical 目 (mù, #109) by convention. 目 is not a separate component in 睘, so no strokes are highlighted.
