About
The character 磁 is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the semantic component 石, indicating its association with stone, and the phonetic component 慈, which supplies its pronunciation; originally denoting lodestone or magnetic iron ore, its meaning extended to refer to magnetism and magnetic objects, and it was occasionally used in historical texts to represent porcelain, a usage derived from phonetic overlap with the character 瓷.
