About
Recognized by its traditional form 鐔, the character 镡 is a phono-semantic compound. The left-side semantic radical 钅, derived from 金, categorizes it within the domain of metals and metallic objects. The right-side component 覎 functions as the phonetic indicator, providing its primary sound value. The character refers to the guard or hilt of a sword, a protective metal piece situated between the blade and handle. It occasionally appears as a surname with an altered pronunciation.
