About

The character 瑷, traditionally written as 璦, is structurally composed of the jade radical 王 and the phonetic component 爱. Etymologically, it initially referred to a type of jade disk in classical Chinese texts. Over time, its meaning narrowed, and the character is now primarily employed in proper nouns such as place names or personal names, rather than retaining its earlier general association with jade objects.
