Pronunciation

xiàn

A hill is not good, because it is a limit(ation).

Radicals

阝 hillThis radical shows a hill. This radical 阝 is always on the left of the hanzi. (Please note that this relatively similar radical ⻏ stands for “village” and is in the character always on the right.)
艮 not goodThis 良 is the character for "good", but since the accent is missing it is understood as "not good".
