About

蹄, which is the simplified form of the traditional character 蹏, is a phonosemantic compound. The foot radical 足 on the left signals a meaning related to feet, and 帝 on the right supplies the pronunciation. The character means 'hoof', the hard, horny covering of the foot of ungulates, including horses, cattle, pigs, and sheep. It is used solely in literal contexts: describing the anatomy of these animals' feet or naming culinary dishes prepared from their hooves (trotters). It has no figurative or abstract meanings.
