About

The character "狒" represents a phono-semantic construction within Chinese script, combining the beast radical 犭 with the phonetic component 弗 to specifically denote the baboon. This structural arrangement semantically classifies the animal within the broader category of beasts while the phonetic element provides an approximation of its pronunciation. Throughout its historical usage, the character has maintained a consistent reference to this primate, with no notable divergence from its original meaning. The traditional form of the character preserves these same components, reflecting a stable etymological and structural lineage in its application within the language.
