Pictograph of an ear.
About
A pictograph of a human ear, its curved outer strokes trace the earlobe's cartilage while the internal ones indicate the inner ridges and auditory canal. Its primary meaning is the ear, the organ of hearing. As a semantic radical, it appears in many characters related to hearing, listening, or things located near the ear, for instance, 听 (to listen) and 聋 (deaf). Occasionally, it functions as a grammatical particle in classical Chinese, marking finality with a sense of limitation or affirmation.
