mythical bird

鸞 is composed of 䜌 (connection) and 鳥 (bird)—note that the phonetic and semantic component 䜌 is paired with 鳥 rather than 弓. Since 䜌 signifies being linked or connected, 鸞 uses these concepts to represent a mythical bird closely bound to the human world. According to legend, whenever this divine bird appears, peace and tranquility prevail across the realm.
