分解 · What it is made of

The parts of 韵

Almost every kanji is built from a small set of reusable parts. Learn the parts once and you stop memorising thousands of unrelated shapes.

Why it sounds the way it does. The part 匀 is the phonetic component — it carries the sound rather than the meaning. That is why 韵 is read いん. Roughly two-thirds of all kanji work this way, which makes unfamiliar readings guessable once you spot the pattern.

About the kanji 韵

韵 is read on'yomi (Chinese-derived) いん; kun'yomi (native Japanese) ひびき.

What is the radical of 韵?

The radical of 韵 is 音 (sound), radical number 180 of the 214 Kangxi radicals. The radical is the component a dictionary files the character under, and it usually points at the character's meaning.

What parts is the kanji 韵 made of?

韵 is built from 音 (sound) and 匀 (equal). Learning kanji as combinations of a few hundred reusable components is far more efficient than memorising each character as a separate shape.

Why is 韵 read いん?

韵 contains 匀 as its phonetic component — the part that carries the sound rather than the meaning, which is why 韵 is read いん. Roughly two-thirds of all kanji are built this way, so spotting the phonetic component often lets you guess the reading of a character you have never seen.
