What 髼 means
It describes loose, uncombed hair. The character appears especially in 髼鬆, a phrase for hair left loose or untidy. A poem uses it for an uncombed head; a Buddhist explanation uses 髮髼亂, disordered hair, as an image of confused, upside-down conduct.
A Chinese dictionary called 龍龕手鏡 records 髼; the dictionary dates to 997. Later dictionaries also include it: 玉篇, 廣韻, 集韻, and 類篇.
Literary and lexicographic; it describes hair rather than a general mood.
