About
The character 盒 is a phono-semantic compound. Its semantic component is the bottom radical 皿 (mǐn), meaning a shallow vessel, while the top component 合 (hé), meaning to join or close, provides the phonetic element. Together, they form the concept of a container with a lid. The character thus refers to a box or case, a covered receptacle used for holding or packaging items, from jewelry to food.
