The kanji 盲盲 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines the phonetic component 亡 (mō, meaning "lost" or "death") with the semantic component 目 (me, meaning "eye"). The combination suggests "eyes that are lost," effectively depicting the idea of blindness. The character visually represents the loss of sight. The historical development shows the evolution of the components to their current form.
