About
The character "髅" finds its origin in the traditional form "髏", a phono-semantic compound that integrates the semantic radical "骨", meaning bone, with the phonetic component "婁" to guide pronunciation, thereby structurally anchoring it to the domain of skeletal anatomy. Its primary and enduring meaning refers to the skull or skeleton, as evidenced in the classical compound "骷髏", with the character's construction consistently reinforcing this association through its recognizable components. While the graphical form has seen some modification over centuries, the core concept it represents has remained stable, maintaining its direct link to bone-related imagery without substantive semantic deviation.
