About
The character 髻, meaning a hair bun or topknot, is structured with the semantic component 髟, denoting hair, and the phonetic component 吉, which indicates its pronunciation. This combination directly associates the character with hairstyles through its radical while relying on the phonetic for sound. Historically, 髻 has specifically referred to coiled or gathered hair arrangements, and its meaning has remained focused on this type of hairstyle throughout its usage in written Chinese.
