About
The character "昨", meaning yesterday, is structured with the semantic component 日 (day) on the left and the phonetic component 乍 on the right, indicating its relation to time and its pronunciation. Etymologically, this combination originally conveyed a sense of the past or a day that has gone by. While in earlier usage "昨" could refer broadly to prior time, its meaning later specialized to denote specifically the day immediately before today.
