Etymology
Pictograph of an ear.
About
This pure pictograph visually represents a human ear, with outer curved lines depicting the earlobe's cartilage and internal strokes indicating inner ridges and the auditory canal. As an anatomical term, its primary meaning has always been the ear, the central organ of hearing. It also serves as a semantic radical in characters related to hearing or proximity to the ear, such as 听 (listen) and 聋 (deaf). Occasionally, it functions as a final particle in classical texts, marking limitation or affirmation.
