About
The character "券" structurally combines the semantic component "刀" meaning knife with the phonetic element "龹", originating from the concept of a contract or tally that was split into two halves with a knife for verification. Its meaning expanded from such divisible documents to include various kinds of tickets, coupons, or certificates that serve as proof of a claim or entitlement, while the character's form has consistently maintained these components.
