About

鞑 is the simplified form of the traditional character 韃, a phono-semantic compound. The left side, 革, is a semantic component associated with leather, animal hides, and saddles, while the right side, 达, indicates the pronunciation. The traditional form uses 達 as its phonetic. Historically, this character was coined to transcribe the names of various nomadic peoples of the northern steppes, most famously the Tatars. The leather radical was chosen to reflect the pastoral, equestrian lifestyle of these groups, who depended heavily on animal hides for clothing, shelter, and horse gear.
