冒
mào
old variant of 冒[mao4]
surname Mao; to emit; to give off; to send out (or up, forth); to brave; to face; (bound form) reckless; to falsely adopt (sb's identity etc); to feign; (literary) to cover
Sun (日) over eye (目) = press through, emit, brave recklessly
The eye (目) pushing up through the sun (日) captures the idea of pressing forward past a barrier — like mist rising through light, or a person forging ahead despite danger. The stacked structure visually suggests something breaking through from below.
烟囱里冒出一股浓烟。
yān cōng lǐ mào chū yī gǔ nóng yān。
A thick smoke came out from the chimney.
他冒着大雨赶回了家。
tā mào zhe dà yǔ gǎn huí le jiā。
He braved the heavy rain and hurried home.
