About
帆 is a phono-semantic compound and a simplified form of the earlier character 㠶. The left component, 巾 (jīn), is the cloth radical; it indicates the meaning of cloth, pointing to the woven textile from which sails were made. The right component, 凡 (fán), supplies the pronunciation and does not influence the meaning. The character primarily denotes a ship's sail, a large sheet of sturdy cloth designed to catch the wind and propel a vessel. By extension, it can also represent sailing vessels or the act of traveling by boat.
