About
The character "逢" originates from the idea of an encounter, constructed with the ⻌ radical denoting movement or a path and the component "夅" which historically offered phonetic cues while evoking a sense of convergence or descent. Its fundamental meaning of meeting or encountering has been consistently preserved across literary and common use, though over time it has developed extended applications to imply chance occurrences or auspicious crossings, often found in compound terms and classical idioms. The character's formation visually suggests the intersection of journeys, and while its written form has seen little alteration, its semantic range has gently expanded to encompass both physical meetings and figurative instances of coming upon events or circumstances.
