聾瞽（上鹿紅反左傳云耳不聽五聲之和為聾蒼頡篇云耳不聞也說文亦無聞也從耳龍聲下姑午反鄭注周禮云無目謂之瞽目蔓蔓如鼓皮也有眸子而無見謂之𥈃或謂之盲說文從目鼓聲）。

聾瞽 [Deaf and blind] (The upper character is fanqie 鹿 + 紅 [lóng]. The Zuo zhuan says: 'When the ears cannot hear the harmony of the five sounds, that is 聾.' The Cangjie pian says: 'The ears not hearing.' The Shuowen jiezi also says: 'Hearing nothing; it has the radical 耳 and the phonetic 龍.' The lower character is fanqie 姑 + 午 [gǔ]. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'Having no eyes is called 瞽; the eyes are stretched tight like drumskin. Having pupils but unable to see is called 𥈃, or called 盲.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It has the radical 目 and the phonetic 鼓').
