| − | + | The character 曰() has 口(𠙵) kǒu ‘mouth’, with a 一 line representing words coming out of it. It is used in classical Chinese for ‘say’ (like modern 说 shuō), especially in the expression: “孔子曰… Confucius said...”. | |
| − | 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. | + | Note: 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 (especially in compound characters). In Wenlin's Zìdiǎn, characters that appear to contain 曰 or 日 as a component are generally listed only under 日 rì ‘sun’, not under 曰 yuē ‘speak’. The exceptions to this rule are characters that are historically related to 曰 yuē, which are listed under both 曰 and 日. |
