About
飘 describes the visual phenomenon of things fluttering, floating, or being carried by the wind. Its traditional form, 飄, is a phono-semantic compound: the phonetic element on the left (originally meaning "ticket" or "slip") is paired with the wind radical (風) on the right. The modern simplified form retains the same phonetic component but uses the simplified wind radical (风) on the right. This radical correctly classifies the character as an action involving atmospheric movement and the displacement of lightweight objects through the air.
