About
The character 出 (chū) is a compound ideograph depicting the action of emerging or departing. Its upper component is an inverted form of 止 (zhǐ), representing a foot in motion, stepping upward from the lower component 凵 (qǔ), which signifies a pit or enclosure. This structure conveys the core meaning of moving outward or exiting a starting point. In modern Chinese, it functions as a verb meaning "to go out" or "to produce", and also serves as a directional complement to other verbs, indicating outward movement or the revelation of something.
