About

The word 周六 is formed by combining two distinct characters: 周, which signifies a cycle or a week, and 六, the numeral six. The construction follows a logical, sequential model where the concept of the weekly cycle is specified by its numerical position; thus, "week six" directly denotes the sixth day in the conventional seven-day weekly cycle, resulting in the meaning "Saturday".
