About
The character 各 combines 夂 (a downward-pointing foot) with 口 (a mouth or dwelling), depicting a foot arriving at a specific place. This image of reaching an individual destination led to its core meaning of distinction and separation. As a pronoun or determiner meaning "each" or "every", 各 emphasizes considering items or persons within a group individually rather than collectively.
