Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 夊 + 𡕒 (second character roughly ヰ) – two feet facing each other (toe-to-toe). Compare 夅, with feet pointing down. Compare also foot in 夂, 夊, 𡕒. Note that the left foot has changed shape rather more than the right foot, which still resembles the form in earlier script.
