A 口 (kǒu) mouth, with a line representing words coming out of it. Used in classical Chinese for ‘say’ (like modern 说 shuō), especially in the expression: “孔子曰... Confucius said...”.
+
The Shuōwén Seal form of 曰(􀴣) yuē ‘say/speak/state’ is said to combine 口(􀌼𠙵) kǒu ‘mouth’, with a curved line above 𠃊(􂍴𠃑􁾒𡿨) representing 气(􀃳) qì ‘breath’ flowing out (carrying spoken words).
曰 yuē is not the same as 日 rì ‘sun’. The two characters are easily confused since the only reliable difference is that 曰 yuē should be wider. Sometimes the middle horizontal stroke is written differently, extending all the way to the right side in 日 rì but falling slightly short in 曰 yuē; however, this convention is only occasionally observed.
+
Compare: 音(􀜻) yīn ‘articulated/musical sound/tone’; 言(􀘢) yán ‘direct speech’; 语/語(􀘥) yǔ ‘discuss/debate’.
Please note: in this database, characters that appear to contain 曰 or 日 as a component are generally listed only under 日 rì, not under 曰 yuē. The exceptions to this rule are characters that are historically related to 曰 yuē, which are listed under both 曰 and 日.
+
Note: In classical Chinese 曰 yuē ‘say/speak’ is used like modern 说/說 shuō ‘say/speak’ (“孔子曰… Confucius said ...”).

Note: (诗) (角弓) 雨雪瀌瀌、見晛曰消 “The snow may have fallen abundantly, But when it feels the sun's heat, it dissolves.” (Legge) [(助词) (句中) 曰/聿; cf. 汩/𣅕 gǔ/yù ‘gurgle/flow’]
 +
Compare: 汩(􁾊) gǔ/yù ‘gurgling/rapids/current/flow’; 𣅕(􁾜𡿯) yù ‘current/flow/rapids’, also wr. .
 +
Compare: 曰 yuē ‘say’, vs. 日 rì ‘sun’; the two characters are easily confused, esp. as components; as an independent character 曰 yuē ‘say’ is often wider, and the middle horizontal stroke does not extend all the way to the right side; however, as a component such differences often disappear.
 +
Note: In the modern form 曰 the central horizontal line 一 corresp. to the top horizontal segment of 口 kǒu ‘mouth’; the top horizontal segment of 曰(􀴣) in the old form was a curved line like 𠃊(􂍴).
 +
Note: Many more characters (some ten times as many) are classified under日部 (Radical #72) than under 曰部 (Radical #73); the relatively few characters historically assoc. with 曰 yuē are usually listed under both radicals /日, but may have the component form that looks like 日.
