About
The character 瑜 is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the semantic component 玉, which signifies jade, and the phonetic component 俞, indicating its sound. Originally denoting a type of fine jade or the luster of jade, its meaning broadened to encompass metaphorical associations with virtue and excellence, evident in classical expressions like 瑕不掩瑜. Structurally, the character has consistently combined the jade radical on the left with the phonetic element on the right, reflecting its core association with jade while allowing for semantic extension.
