About

The traditional character 驗 combines the horse radical 馬 with the phonetic component 僉, reflecting its original context of evaluating horses. The simplified form 验 streamlines both parts into 马 and 佥, while its meaning has expanded far beyond equine testing. It now generally refers to examining evidence, verifying authenticity, conducting tests, or gaining firsthand experience to confirm facts.
