About
The character 榻 is a phono-semantic compound. Its left-side radical 木 indicates the material is wood, while the right component 𦐇 primarily provides the pronunciation. This right part consists of a sun 日 above feathers 羽, but contributes little meaning to the whole. The character consistently refers to a long, narrow, low wooden bed or couch, originally for daytime rest or sleep. Historically, this furniture was often portable or built into an alcove, and appears in classical literature to describe a simple sleeping place or a temporary resting spot offered to a guest.
