About
The character 轲, with its traditional form 軻, is structurally composed of the semantic component 车, meaning vehicle, and the phonetic component 可, which originally linked it to the concept of a chariot axle. Historically, the character denoted this specific part of a chariot in classical texts, but over centuries its application narrowed, and it ceased to be a common noun, surviving almost solely as a component in personal names such as the historical figure 荆轲 from the Warring States period.
