About
The character "鸥", representing the gull, originated from its traditional form "鷗", which semantically incorporates the "鳥" component indicating a bird and phonetically employs "區" to suggest its pronunciation. Throughout its history, the character's meaning has remained steadfastly linked to seabirds of the gull family, reflecting no major semantic drift. In terms of structure, the traditional "鷗" was streamlined into "鸥" by substituting the complex "鳥" with its simplified variant "鸟" and reducing "區" to "区", thereby preserving the original phonetic and semantic associations while achieving a more simplified graphical composition.
