About
The character 犁 features the cow radical ⽜ at the bottom, linking it semantically to draft animals used in agriculture. The upper portion, 利, acts as the phonetic component while also conveying the meaning of sharpness. Its traditional form 犂 has a slightly different phonetic element, but both variants describe a sharp farming tool pulled by an animal, defining the character as a plow for turning soil before planting.
