About
骝 is a phono-semantic compound meaning a bay horse with a red body and black mane and tail. It combines the horse radical 马 (indicating equine) on the left and the phonetic 留 on the right. The traditional form is 騮, using the unsimplified radical 馬. Many specialized characters once existed for horse coat colors, reflecting the animal's importance in agriculture and warfare. This character serves as a specific descriptive term in literature and veterinary contexts.
