About
The character 玑 is a phono-semantic compound, with the simplified jade radical ⺩ on the left indicating its association with precious stones. The right side, 几, serves as a phonetic component, replacing the traditional phonetic element 幾 in the character 璣. Originally, 玑 referred to an irregular pearl or small gem. Beyond jewelry, it historically appeared in the names of ancient astronomical instruments, such as the armillary sphere known as xuánjī.
