彐

Meanings

Etymology

A variant of 彑 ("pig snout"). But in many characters, such as 事, 尹, 雪, and 爭 it depicts a hand holding something. The hand is stylized since it only has three fingers instead of five (see 又, with three fingers, and 止, a footprint with three toes). Unrelated to 录, in which it represents a cloth filter for water, and 庚 (as well as to its derivative 康. See also 丑, which represents an animal paw. The only characters in which a similar shape represents a wild boar (not a domestic pig) are the ancient variants of 敢.
