About
The character 莓 is a phono-semantic compound, with the semantic radical 艹 (grass) at the top indicating its botanical nature. The component 每 (měi) below serves as the phonetic element, guiding the character's pronunciation. This formation was created to denote small, fleshy fruits from creeping plants or low shrubs, corresponding to the English "berry". In modern usage, it primarily functions as a building block in compound words for specific fruits, like 草莓 (strawberry) and 蓝莓 (blueberry).
