About
The character 琦 is structured as a phono-semantic compound, combining the semantic component 王, which denotes jade or precious stone, with the phonetic component 奇 to indicate its pronunciation. Etymologically, it initially referred specifically to a type of fine jade. Its meaning later extended to describe anything rare, valuable, or of exceptional quality, which is why it became commonly employed in personal names and classical texts to convey notions of excellence and admiration.
