About
The character 昨 combines the sun radical 日 on the left, indicating its connection to time, with the component 乍 (zhà) on the right, which provides its phonetic pronunciation. Its core meaning is the day before today, or yesterday. Beyond this specific timeframe, the character can also evoke the recent past more broadly, often appearing in compounds that refer to previous events or earlier times.
