The Shuōwén Seal form of 上(​丄) shàng ‘up above/over’ combines a horizontal line ​一 representing the horizon (surface of the earth, as in ​至), and a vertical line up above signifying ‘up/above’; formerly wr. ​𠄞.
    Compare: ​下(​丅​𠄟) xià ‘down below/under’, which is the inverse of 上(​丄​𠄞); ​卡 qiǎ/kǎ ‘checkpoint/pinch’.
    Note: The modern form 上 is like the variant ​丄 with an extra dot (​卜 is not a trad. comp. of 上); some Seal forms of 上󰀂(​丄) have a curved vertical line marked above with the dot; the old form ​𠄞 can be seen as Seal component; that old form was not used as an independent character in order to avoid confusion with ​二 èr ‘two’.
    Compare: ​示, ​帝, ​云, ​辰(​𨑃), ​亥, ​㫄, ​㱏, ​言, ​䇂.
    Older graphs associated with ​𠄞(​丄上) have a curved U-shaped line below, suggesting a right-side up bowl (holding water/food), and another line above representing the contents of the bowl.
    Compare: ​曲 qū ‘curved basket’; ​匚(​𠥓) fāng ‘square vessel/basket’; ​匸 xì ‘cover/conceal’.
    Compare: ☳ ​震 zhèn (䷲), ​辰(​𨑃), in which the old form of 上(​丄​𠄞) is a component.
