The character is composed of two parts: ⚫︎ The left side represents the 山 (yama), meaning "mountain," which functions as the semantic component. ⚫︎ The right side represents the 夆 (hō), which acts as the phonetic component, providing the sound and suggesting the shape of the peak. Together, these elements visually and conceptually depict the peak of a mountain.
