Glyph origin

Unorthodox variant of 衛 originally found in Zhongwen Da Cidian 《中文大辭典》, a Taiwanese dictionary based on the Japanese Dai Kan-Wa Jiten.

This character is visually similar to 卫, the official simplified form of 衛 and its existence may have been influenced by the Japanese katakana ヱ (we).
