Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

The original version is a pictogram (象形) depicting a person with an emphasized eye looking into a container (Ji Xusheng, 2004).

Then, the whole character was stylized as a Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : + and written as 𧗄. Later, the bottom component was turned into 血. Note the migration of the dot from to a third stroke of → ⿱𠂉丶/⿱𠂉一.

Etymology

[edit]

Compare Burmese ကြံ (kram, to think, scheme).[1]
