miè
defiled with blood
grass (艹) + net (罒) + soldier (戍) = defiled, crushed down
A soldier (戍) caught in a net (罒) amid trampled grass (艹) — the image of someone brought low, defiled, or crushed. The combination evokes humiliation and bloodshed rather than any single component carrying the full weight alone.
