About
珲 is a phono-semantic compound, the simplified form of 琿. Its semantic component, 王 (the jade radical), classifies it among precious stones. The phonetic component 军, on the right, indicates the pronunciation. Etymologically, it denotes a fine jade or valuable gemstone, consistent with the radical's use for ornamental terms. The character also serves as a geographical proper noun, notably in place names, with its primary usage confined to gemology and geographic identification.
