Chinese
[edit]Glyph origin
[edit]This character is not known to have existed prior to the simplification of Chinese characters by the People's Republic of China in 1956.
The simplification of 衛/卫 (wèi) to 卫 (wèi) may have been influenced by the Japanese katakana ヱ (we), compare the Japanese ryakuji ⿰彳ヱ.
In Zhongwen Da Cidian 《中文大辭典》, a dictionary based on the Japanese Dai Kan-Wa Jiten and published in Taiwan from 1962 to 1968, 𠀄 (wèi), a character which is visually similar to 卫 (wèi) (乛 on top instead of 𠃌 (gǔn)), is recorded as an unorthodox variant of 衛/卫 (wèi).
Another theory is that 卫 (wèi) is a variant of 𫝀 (wǔ), which is the top component of 韋/韦 (wéi) in the middle of 衛/卫 (wèi).[1]
Definitions
[edit]For pronunciation and definitions of 卫 – see 衛 (“to guard; to protect; to defend; security guard; etc.”). (This character is the simplified form of 衛). |
