About
The character 髻 is a phono-semantic compound denoting a hairstyle where hair is coiled or tied. Its upper part is the semantic radical 髟 (biāo), meaning long hair, which indicates the character relates to hair and grooming. The lower part is 吉 (jí), meaning auspicious, which provides the phonetic cue for pronunciation without contributing to the meaning. 髻 specifically refers to a bun, topknot, or coil of hair worn on the head, a style worn by both men and women throughout Chinese history.
