About
The character 琅 combines the jade radical 王 on the left, which places it in the semantic field of precious stones and gems, with the component 良 on the right, meaning "good", which serves as its phonetic element. Originally, it denoted a fine type of jade or precious stone, often described in classical literature as clean, white, and of high quality, sometimes likened to coral or pearls. Its meaning later broadened to include enamel, as seen in the compound 珐琅. The character is also frequently used in descriptive compounds to evoke the clear, tinkling sound of jade pendants striking together.
