What do you mean "embarrassed"? This is a Chinese character, pronounced Ji ǒ ng; What does "embarrassed" mean? The original meaning is "light". But it is such a word that has been given more meaning and developed into a strange network culture.
Anger is not the only thing on the Internet, but Jingǒng, the oldest Chinese character on the Internet, has suddenly become popular recently. Someone asked why such a rare word that 90% of China people don't know how to pronounce it has such great charm.

Why is such an uncommon word that 90% of China people don't know how to pronounce it so attractive?
It is understood that the word "Jiong" once appeared in China Kangxi Dictionary and was further publicized by the Internet, and now it has become a rare network culture.
The word "embarrassment" originally meant light. It is resurrected from the dictionary and given a new meaning: sad, helpless or extremely embarrassed mood. This is easy to understand. If the word "sorry" is regarded as a human face, then "eight" is two eyebrows drooping because of sadness and depression, and "mouth" is a tongue-tied mouth. When a person says "I am embarrassed", it is conceivable that his expression is exactly the same as "embarrassed". Moreover, the pronunciation of the word "embarrassed" is exactly the same as "embarrassed", which is perfect.
