官

See also: 宮

Translingual

Etymology

Variant form of 宮, roughly Ideogrammic compound (會意): 宀 + 呂 – many rooms under a roof, an official building.

Note that line between the two boxes is on the left side, rather than in the center (as in 宮, 呂). The same shape is found in 追 and 歸, though from a different origin (as phonetic).
