About
The character "锥", which originates from the traditional form "錐", is structurally composed of the metal radical "金" indicating its material and the component "隹" serving primarily as a phonetic marker, together denoting a sharp, pointed tool like an awl. Its simplified form alters the metal radical to "钅" while keeping the phonetic element intact, thus maintaining the character's essential representation of instruments designed for piercing or objects with a conical shape. Throughout its historical usage, the meaning has consistently centered on such pointed implements, with the character extending only minimally to describe related tapered forms without significant semantic shift.
