"Tranquility" Lost



I saw this "Wall Hanging Asian Character" for sale at a local Bed Bath and Beyond store. The character θ‘— has an English caption stating it means "tranquility". The truth is far from "tranquil".

Depends on how θ‘— is used as in a phrase or sentence, it has many meanings including "catch; receive; suffer", "to make known; to show; to prove; to write; book; outstanding", and "plan; settlement; to wear", but none of them means "tranquility".
