The simple-form character 将 (9 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character ​ (11 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​ (4 strokes) with ​ (3 strokes) , and replacing ​ (4 strokes) with ​ (3 strokes).
    The full-form character ​ is sometimes also wr. with ​(​) zhǎo ‘claw’ (4 strokes) as the upper-right component, instead of with ​(​𠕎) ròu ‘meat’ (4 strokes).
    Compare: 将/​ jiàng (n.) ‘general/commander’ (将​), 将/​ jiāng (v.) ‘shall/will’ (将​).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 将/​ jiàng ‘commander/general’ is said to combine ​/​(​𤖕) jiàng ‘meat paste’ (abbrev. phonetic), with ​ cùn ‘measure’ (replacing the component ​ ‘liquor’ in ​𤖕).
    Note: In ​/​(​𤖕) jiàng ‘paste/sauce’ the component is ​ qiáng (phonetic), and so ​ is indirectly phonetic in 将/​; cf. ​/​, in which ​ is as in ​ ‘kill’, ​/​.
    “[​] From: ​ (hand in the ‘thumb’ var:) to offer ​(​) meat, signific and ​ qiáng phonetic” —Karlgren(AD).
    Note: In simple-form characters the component 将 in the top position is sometimes abbrev. to ​(⿰​) when it serves as phonetic.
    Compare: ​/​, ​/​, ​/​, ​/​漿, ​/​.
    Compare: 将/​, ​/​, ​/​, ​/​, ​/​, ​𡺃/​, ​𨪙/, ​𫦋𫦔/, ​𬌒/​𤖛, ​𬧀/​, ​𫽣/​, ​/​𨪙/​
    Compare: ​, formerly wr. ​ jiàng/xiáng ‘descend/surrender/conquer’.
