About

The character "璐" has consistently referred to a type of fine jade, with its construction exemplifying the phono-semantic model by combining the semantic radical 王, a variant form of 玉 meaning jade, with the phonetic component 路 to suggest its pronunciation. This structural composition has remained unchanged, and the character's core meaning has persisted without substantial alteration, maintaining its specific association with precious stone throughout its documented history. While its application in everyday language is limited, it appears in classical literary works to denote valuable jade objects and continues to be employed in modern personal names, carrying forward its original connotations of beauty and worth.
