The Shuōwén Seal form of 兔 tù ‘rabbit’ derives from old pictographs depicting a rabbit, with the ears/head above, squatting on its hind legs, with a final stroke/dot for the tail.
    “It represents a hare when it is squatting, with its tail perked up.” —Wieger.
    Compare: ​(​𣬋) chuò ‘hare’ (in which the four feet/legs are drawn); ​ yì ‘escape’.
    Compare: ​ miǎn ‘avoid’ (which has one less stroke).
