About
The character 芙, primarily found within the compound 芙蓉 denoting the lotus flower, is etymologically a phono-semantic construct where the grass radical 艹 categorizes it as a plant, while the component 夫 functions as a phonetic indicator rather than conveying semantic content. Its structural composition has remained unchanged, with the traditional form being identical to its current representation. Originally embedded in classical botanical and literary contexts, the character has consistently carried its association with the lotus, and its meaning has not experienced substantial deviation, remaining tightly bound to its role in describing aquatic flora and related aesthetic concepts across centuries of written use.
