bamboo screen, rattan blind
簾 centers on a hanging screen or blind made from thin strips, typically bamboo or rattan, used to divide space or filter light.
簾 combines 竹 (bamboo) with 廉, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a screen or partition. The character reflects a bamboo-made hanging blind.
The bamboo top 竹 over 廉 suggests a hanging screen made of bamboo strips. Picture a bamboo curtain filtering sunlight in a doorway.
For レン, imagine a lens-like bamboo screen that filters light: lens -> レン, and the bamboo blind acts like a soft lens.
