About
The phono-semantic compound 琉 (liú) uses the radical 王 (jade) on the left to link it semantically to precious stones and lustrous materials. The right component 㐬 (liú) provides the phonetic element. Originally used with other characters for a type of smooth, shiny gem, 琉 later came to denote glazed ceramics, colored glass, and glossy roof tiles, reflecting how such luminous, reflective materials were historically valued like natural jade.
