About
The character 韩, originally depicted in its traditional form as 韓, etymologically traces back to a word meaning a well curb or a surrounding fence, constructed from the component 韋 suggesting leather or toughness and 倝 serving as a phonetic indicator. Its meaning gradually expanded from denoting a physical barrier to being adopted as a surname during the Zhou dynasty and later as a name for the Korean peninsula. The simplified form 韩 features a reduced semantic component, yet the character retains its historical phonetic and semantic associations.
