珺

Phono-semantic compound:

玉 (옥) — semantic element, denotes jade, gemstones, beauty, clarity

君 (군) — phonetic element

Thus 珺 literally means:

- “jade of noble quality”

- “precious jewel associated with nobility / excellence”

Because the phonetic element 君 originally signified “sovereign, lord,” the combined graph evokes the sense of:

- noble jade

- jade worthy of a lord

- refined gemstone.

Historical status:

Not found in oracle, bronze, or seal script corpora.

Appears only in later dictionaries as a variant or extended character.

Primary usage: names (given names, courtesy names).

Thus 珺 is a modern extended character built within the traditional phono-semantic system, not an ancient classical character.

In Korean, 珺(군) is used almost exclusively as a name-character symbolizing beauty, purity, or noble character.

As a name element:

珺雅 (군아) — 곱고 우아한 옥; elegant jade

珺希 (군희) — 귀하고 드문 옥; rare and precious jade

珺琳 (군림) — 반짝이는 옥; shining jade

珺玉 (군옥) — 옥 중의 옥; jade among jade; supreme purity
