About
The character "琛" is structured with the jade radical "王" combined with the phonetic component "罙", a formation that inherently conveys its original meaning of precious jade or treasure, particularly in reference to valuable tributes from distant lands as documented in classical literature. Etymologically, this composition aligns with its early usage denoting rare and esteemed objects, while over time its semantic scope has narrowed to a more specialized literary and onomastic application, though without departing from its core association with wealth and preciousness. The enduring link between its form and meaning reflects a consistent conceptual alignment, with the jade radical perpetually signaling value and the phonetic element contributing to its auditory identity despite shifts in pronunciation across eras.
