About
The character "询", denoting the act of inquiry or consultation, derives from its traditional counterpart "詢", a compound character combining the speech radical "言" with the phonetic element "旬". This structure historically links the character to verbal exchange, with "旬" providing the sound while the radical anchors the meaning in speech. Throughout its usage, the semantic core of asking or seeking information has persisted consistently. In its simplified iteration, the character retains the phonetic component but substitutes the full speech radical with the condensed form "讠", an alteration that streamlines writing without altering the fundamental concept conveyed.
