About
琅 is a phonosemantic compound: the jade radical 王 signals its meaning, while 良 indicates the pronunciation. It is the simplified form of 瑯. Originally, the character referred to a fine, pure white jade or precious stone, often compared to coral or pearls in classical literature. Later, it expanded to denote enamel when used in compounds like 珐琅, and it commonly represents the clear tinkling sound of jade pendants striking together.
