About
The character 王 is an ideograph depicting either a standing figure of authority or a ceremonial axe, symbolizing military power and kingship. Alternatively, its structure of three horizontal lines, representing heaven, earth, and humanity, joined by a vertical line suggests a ruler mediating between these cosmic realms. Its core meaning denotes a monarch or supreme ruler. It also commonly functions as a radical in characters related to jade, although the independent jade radical is a distinct character with an added dot.
