About

The character 浒 refers to a riverbank, shore, or edge of a body of water. It is a phono-semantic compound where the radical 氵 (water) indicates its semantic category. In its traditional form 滸, the component 言 provides the phonetic value, while the simplified form 浒 uses 许 instead. The character is best known from the classic novel Water Margin (水浒传), which anchors its primary usage in literary, historical, or formal geographical contexts rather than everyday speech.
