About
The character "毡", meaning felt, originates from the traditional form "氈" which is structured with the semantic radical 毛 denoting hair or fur and the phonetic component 亶. In the simplified form "毡", the element 占 replaces 亶 as the phonetic indicator while 毛 remains to signify the material's association with wool. Historically, this character has referred to a dense textile produced by matting and pressing animal fibers, with its components reflecting this meaning through the inclusion of 毛. The structural adjustment from 氈 to 毡 simplified the character's composition without diverging from its core reference to felt.
