(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​将:) The simple-form character ​将 (9 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 將 (11 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​爿 (4 strokes) with ​丬 (3 strokes) , and replacing ​ (4 strokes) with ​夕 (3 strokes).
    The full-form character 將 is sometimes also wr. with ​爫(​􀟲​爪) zhǎo ‘claw’ (4 strokes) as the upper-right component, instead of with ​(​􀬪​𠕎​肉) ròu ‘meat’ (4 strokes).
    Compare: ​将/將 jiàng (n.) ‘general/commander’ (​将​帅), ​将/將 jiāng (v.) ‘shall/will’ (​将​要).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​将/將(​􀡽) jiàng ‘commander/general’ is said to combine ​酱/​醬(​􂦿​𤖕) jiàng ‘meat paste’ (abbrev. phonetic), with ​寸(​􀡻) cùn ‘measure’ (replacing the component ​酉 ‘liquor’ in ​𤖕).
    Note: In ​酱/​醬(​􂦿​𤖕) jiàng ‘paste/sauce’ the component is ​爿(​􁋊) qiáng (phonetic), and so ​爿 is indirectly phonetic in ​将/將; cf. ​酱/​醬, in which ​爿 is as in ​戕 ‘kill’, ​臧/​藏.
    “[將] From: ​寸 (hand in the ‘thumb’ var:) to offer ​月(​肉) meat, signific and ​爿 qiáng phonetic” —Karlgren(AD).
    Note: In simple-form characters the component ​将 in the top position is sometimes abbrev. to ​(⿰​丬​夕) when it serves as phonetic.
    Compare: ​/將, ​奖/​獎, ​桨/​槳, ​浆/​漿, ​酱/​醬.
    Compare: ​将/將, ​蒋/​蔣, ​螀/​螿, ​锵/​鏘, ​鳉/​鱂, ​𡺃/​嶈, ​𨪙/, ​𫦋​𫦔/, ​𬌒/​𤖛, ​𬧀/​蹡, ​𫽣/​摪, ​锵/​𨪙/​鏘
    Compare: ​降(​􂣃), formerly wr. ​夅(​􀻚) jiàng/xiáng ‘descend/surrender/conquer’.
