The kanji 威 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The character is composed of the radical 戈 (ka), which means "halberd" or "spear", and the phonetic component 㚇 (i). The use of the halberd, a weapon, implies the use of force, power, and military might, conveying a sense of authority and intimidating presence. The phonetic component 㚇 provides the sound element.
