Stroke order

Etymology

Pictogram (象形): a kneeling person, symbolic of authority.

Note that the left vertical line extends further down than the right hook; compare some forms of 令.

Similar shapes may also be classed under this radical, though they are of independent derivation:

• Sometimes written as 㔾 (“sprout”) (e.g. 危, 卷) – this may be a traditional variant of 卩.
• In some characters (e.g. 卫, from 衛), the top stroke extends further to the left.
• The variant 卪 appears in some characters (from 巴) (e.g. 色, 邑).
