壬 rén depicts “a 丨 carrying pole supported 一 in the middle part and having one object attached at each end, as always done in China” —Karlgren(1923). (See 扁担 biǎndan).

The character 壬(􂥊) rén ‘ninth Heavenly Stem’ is very old, and like all ten 天干 ‘Heavenly Stems’ their derivations are obscure; cf. the twelve 地支 ‘Earthly Branches’ (also obscure). It is possibly an old form of the character 任(􁗥) rèn ‘carry a burden’.
Now the character 任 rèn has the meaning of carrying a burden, and the original character 壬 is used only for the ninth of the ten heavenly stems (天干).

Another old character, which now only occurs as a component in other characters, is now written the same way: 壬. It depicted a 人 person standing on the 土 ground. The pronunciation would be tǐng if it weren’t obsolete; it is a phonetic component in 廷 tíng, 呈 chéng, 聽 tīng, etc.

Don’t confuse 壬(􂥊) rén with the old character 壬/𡈼(􁙰𡔛) tǐng, which now only occurs as a component in other characters, and is today written the same way; it is the phonetic component in 廷 tíng, 呈 chéng, 聽 tīng, 巠 jīng, etc.; compare also (􀁞) wáng ‘king’.
Don’t confuse 壬 rén with 王 wáng ‘king’.
