Flycatchers often perch on a branch and dart out to catch passing flying insects.
Tips
usage
Character used almost exclusively in compound bird names: 鹟科 (Muscicapidae family), 寿带鸟 (paradise flycatcher), 北灰鹟 (Asian brown flycatcher). Small passerines that hawk flying insects from an exposed perch.
Right bird radical, simplified form of 鳥 - the indexing element. Marks 鹟 as a species name: the Old World flycatcher family (鹟科), small insect-snapping perching birds. Same family as 鸡, 鸭, 鹅, 鹰 - every bird species coinage uses this right-side radical.
Left 翁 supplies the sound directly: wēng to wēng. Strong semantic flavour - 翁 pictured 'feathers around an old man's neck,' and the flycatcher is named for its prominent ruff of throat feathers. The phonetic doubles as image: a feathered-collar bird. Same phonetic in 嗡, 滃.
No stroke data for 鹟; the glyph shown is your device font, so component strokes can't be highlighted.
