 真

[edit] Alternative forms

Note different forms; traditional is rather like 眞, with 匕 on top, while simplified and Japanese shinjitai instead have a 十 on top. Also, as with related 直 and unrelated 具, in traditional and Japanese the top and bottom are separated – character has two components – while in simplified the top and bottom are connected, and the character forms one component.

[edit] Etymology

Ideogrammic compound (會意): 直 (“vertical”) + 兀 (“table”) – checking if a table is level, truth.

[edit] Han character
