About
The character 低 combines the person radical 亻 on the left, linking it to human posture or action, with the phonetic component 氐 on the right, which originally meant "root" or "base". Together, they convey the idea of lowness, whether in physical height, position, or social rank. As a verb, 低 means to lower or droop the head, suggesting a downward movement or a state of dejection.
