Character Story & Explanation
帧 (zhēn) primarily means 'frame' in the context of film, video, or animation, corresponding to a single still image in a sequence. In Chinese, it is used like 'frame rate' (帧率) or 'key frame' (关键帧). Unlike Western 'frame' which also means picture frame (相框), 帧 is almost exclusively technical. Its radical 巾 relates to cloth, hinting at old film strips made of cloth material.
