About
邑 is a fundamental phonetic-semantic component meaning "settlement" or "city". Its structure combines an enclosure (top) with a kneeling person (bottom), depicting a inhabited place. While historically used independently for "fiefdom", its main modern function is as a radical. When appearing on the right side of a character, it takes the form 阝, indicating a semantic connection to locations or jurisdictions, as seen in 邦 (nation).
