词
U+8BCD "词" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means word, phrase, or speech and is commonly used in modern Chinese to refer to a linguistic unit, as in dictionaries or poetic lyrics. It is also a key component in compound words like 词典 (cídiǎn, meaning dictionary) and 词语 (cíyǔ, meaning words and expressions). Historically, this character relates to the concept of utterance or discourse, and in classical Chinese poetry, it denotes a type of lyric verse known as cí, which became prominent during the Song dynasty. The character's structure combines the radical 讠 (speech or words) with the phonetic component 司, reflecting its semantic association with language and expression.
