About
The character "翎" is structured with the semantic radical 羽, meaning "feather", and the phonetic component 令. It originally denoted the long, stiff feathers of birds, which were used for fletching arrows or as decorative elements. Over time, its application became more specific, referring primarily to tail feathers or plumes employed in ceremonial headdresses and artistic representations. The character's composition has remained unchanged, with 羽 consistently indicating its association with feathers.
