About
The character 孩 features the child radical 子 on the left, which provides the core meaning, and the component 亥 on the right, which suggests the pronunciation. Originally it referred specifically to very young infants just beginning to smile, but its meaning later broadened to include children in general. It is most often used in compound words related to youth, childhood, and offspring, with the radical firmly linking it to the concept of human progeny.
