形声(汉字造字法（六书)之一）

Every pictophonetic character has a meaning and a sound element. For example

These characters are called pictophonetic characters. 这些汉字就叫做形声字。

Pictophonetic characters are not phonographic, but ideographic in their word forms. 形声字并非表音文字，其字体结构依然遵循表义原则。

In Chinese,it is written in pictophonetic characters, and most are initial-vowel sounds and most are monosyllabic. 在汉语中，所有的叹词用字都取“口”字旁的形声字；一音可有多字，一字也可有多音；以元音开头的为主；单音节占优势。

A pictographic element and a phonetic element combine to form a pictophonetic character. 意符和声旁组合在一起就构成形声字。
