About
豨 is a phono-semantic compound where the semantic radical 豕 (pig) on the left establishes its meaning within the porcine category. The component 希 on the right provides the pronunciation. In classical texts, this character refers to a pig, especially a large wild boar, its meaning directly conveyed through the structural presence of the pig radical in historical and mythological contexts.
