About
The character 砖 is a phono-semantic compound with the left-side radical 石 (shí, stone), indicating the material category, and the right-side component 专 (zhuān), providing the phonetic value. Its traditional form is 磚, which uses the more complex phonetic component 專. It primarily means a brick, a rectangular block of baked clay, mud, or concrete used in construction. The definition also extends to similarly shaped objects, such as a compressed brick of tea or a bar of gold.
