Glyph origin

According to Shuowen Jiezi, the 𡇒 character (note that this Unicode character has undergone libian simplification) atop 𦞅 is a pictogram (象形) of a stomach. While the bronze script form merely consisted of two concentric circles, an inner portion of the character was later added, namely a mutated form of the seal script character of ("rice"), representing grains within the stomach (see also ).

A component (modern radical form , not to be confused with the unrelated , a moon) was added to specialise the character. Upon transition to the clerical script form, the upper component was simplified to the unrelated , which however has a reference to rice and food.

The ancient form of the character can be seen within the lower component of 𦳊.
