About
The character 岭, corresponding to the traditional form 嶺, uses the mountain radical 山 to indicate geographical features and high, rocky terrain. In the simplified form, 令 serves as the phonetic component, while the traditional form employs the more complex 領 (which itself contains the radical 頁) as its phonetic element. 岭 specifically refers to a mountain ridge, a connected chain of mountains, or a high pass, implying a continuous topographical elevation rather than a solitary peak.
