The kanji 韻 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines the phonetic component 音 (おん, on), meaning "sound," with the semantic component 員 (いん, in), which originally indicated the sound of something. This formation suggests the importance of sound and pronunciation in the concept of rhyme and poetic expression. Over time, the character evolved to represent the concept of rhythm and style related to sound.
