About
The character "岬" is structured as a phono-semantic compound combining the mountain radical (山) with the component "甲", where the radical classifies it as a landform and "甲" primarily serves a phonetic role, though it may secondarily suggest a projecting or shell-like shape akin to a cape. Etymologically, this construction was devised to represent a geographical feature, specifically a promontory or headland extending into a body of water. Its meaning has remained focused on this concrete topographic concept since its formation, with no significant shifts in application or semantic range over time.
