Glyph origin[edit]

|---|---|
| Old Chinese | |
| 香 | *qʰaŋ |
| 萫 | *qʰaŋs |
In the oracle bone script, it was ideogrammic compound (會意): 黍 (“glutinous millet”) + 口 (“mouth”).
In the seal script, the 口 was replaced with the related 甘 (“sweet”).
Currently, the 黍 has simplified into 禾, and the form of the bottom component 甘 has become akin to the unrelated 曰 or 日.
