毫
háo
hair
drawing brush; (in the) least; one thousandth; currency unit, 0.1 yuan
high sound (亠口冖) + hair (毛) = a hair's breadth
毛 grounds the meaning in hair or fine bristles — the kind used in a writing brush or too small to matter. The upper components 亠, 口, and 冖 together form 高 without its base, giving háo its sound rather than its sense.
他毫不在意别人的看法。
tā háo bù zài yì bié rén de kàn fǎ。
He doesn't care in the least about what others think.
这两件事毫无关系，你不用担心。
zhè liǎng jiàn shì háo wú guān xi，nǐ bù yòng dān xīn。
These two things have absolutely no connection; you don't need to worry.
