| − | + | The full-form character 愛(𢜤𢟪) ài ‘love’ combines 夂(夊) suī ‘walk slowly’, and 㤅() ài ‘love’ (phonosemantic); formerly 愛 was wr. 㤅(), with 心() xīn ‘heart/feeling’ below, and 旡(𠑸㒫兂) jì above, which is assoc. with the component 己() jǐ ‘self’ as in 忌() jì ‘jealous’ (itself formerly also wr. 㤅). | |
