About
盏 is a phono-semantic compound with the radical 皿 (dish or shallow vessel) at the bottom, indicating its semantic connection to containers for food or drink. The upper component 戋 provides the phonetic value. In its traditional form 盞, the phonetic component 戔 sits above the same radical 皿. The character primarily refers to a small, shallow cup or bowl used for tea or wine, and also functions as a measure word for lamps or lanterns.
