About
The phono-semantic character 脶 combines the flesh radical 月 (indicating the human body) with the phonetic component 呙. Its traditional form, 腡, uses the more complex 咼. Historically, it primarily denotes the spiral patterns on fingertips, what we now call fingerprints. A secondary, archaic meaning refers to flesh on the belly. This specific anatomical term appears mainly in descriptions of physical traits or identification methods.
