The Shuōwén Seal form of 上(​) shàng ‘up above/over’ combines a horizontal line ​ representing the horizon (surface of the earth, as in ​), and a vertical line up above signifying ‘up/above’; formerly wr. ​𠄞.
    Compare: ​(​𠄟) xià ‘down below/under’, which is the inverse of 上(​𠄞); ​ qiǎ/kǎ ‘checkpoint/pinch’.
    Note: The modern form 上 is like the variant ​ with an extra dot (​ is not a trad. comp. of 上); some Seal forms of 上󰀂(​) 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 ​ èr ‘two’.
    Compare: ​, ​, ​, ​(​𨑃), ​, ​, ​, ​, ​.
    Older graphs associated with ​𠄞(​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: ​ qū ‘curved basket’; ​(​𠥓) fāng ‘square vessel/basket’; ​ xì ‘cover/conceal’.
    Compare: ☳ ​ zhèn (䷲), ​(​𨑃), in which the old form of 上(​𠄞) is a component.
