About
The character "坂" structurally integrates the earth radical with the component 反, reflecting its inherent association with sloping terrain through a combination of semantic and phonetic elements. Etymologically, it has consistently denoted a hillside or incline, a meaning sustained across its historical usage without significant deviation. The choice of components aligns with this core concept, where the earth radical grounds the character in the physical landscape while the phonetic element contributes to its linguistic formation, resulting in a stable representation of a common topographic feature.
