圭

See also 丰

Translingual

Etymology

Pictogram (象形): 土 + 土 – stack of (clay, jade) tablets.

Also Simplified from 丰 in some characters, such as 封.

As with 走, there are two separate vertical strokes, not a single one. Note that the right component of 隹 is drawn differently, and is unrelated.

Han character

圭 (radical 32 土+3, 6 strokes, cangjie input 土土 (GG), four-corner 4010₄)

1. jade pointed at top, a jade tablet used by officials in ancient China when addressing the emperor in court
