About
The character "入" derives from an early pictographic representation of a pointed object piercing a surface, conveying the core idea of entering. Its contemporary structure is a simple two-stroke configuration that visually suggests movement inward, and it serves as a standalone radical. The primary meaning of "to enter" or "to go into" has been extended over time to include metaphorical and derived uses, such as "income" or "revenue", as incorporated into compounds like 收入.
