(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (8 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 學 (16 strokes), replacing the upper full-form part ​𦥯 (13 strokes) with ​⿱​ (5 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​ the upper full-form part ​𦥯 becomes ​ (as in ​/​), keeping ​ but replacing the rest with ​ (​ modesty); formerly also abbrev. ​/​𢻯/​𡕕.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/學(​􀣢) xué ‘study/learn’ is said to be an old abbrev. of ​𢽾/​(​􀣡) xiào/xué ‘teach/learn’ (cf. ​/​ awaken), in which the components are ​(​􀣞) jiāo/jiào ‘teach’, ​(​􁒧𠘨) mì ‘cover/darkness/ignorance’ (as in ​), and ​𦥑(​􀝵) jú/jǔ ‘respectful/dispensing/uplifting hands’ (phonosemantic); in old texts ​ and ​/學 were not clearly distinguished.
    Note: In ​/學(​􀣢) the top part ​/​𦥯 indicates ​𦥑(​􀝵) two hands of the master, dispensing ​(​􀣳) yáo ‘lines’ (⚊⚋, ⚌⚏…, ☰☷…, ䷀䷁䷂䷃…) from the Book of Changes (​); in the middle is ​(​􁒧𠘨) mì ‘cover/darkness/ignorance’ as in ​/​(​􁒮􀊽) méng ‘foolish/ignorant’ (䷃); to uncover the truth, the ​ ‘child/student’ must grasp/master the ​ changing lines.
    Older graphs associated with ​/學 write the lower component as ​ zì ‘schoolhouse; wr. character’ (HDZ), sometimes adding ​ (as in ​, ​).
    Compare: ​(​􂥒) zì ‘nurture/educate (children); family schoolhouse; wr. character’; ​(​􂥍) zǐ ‘child/offspring’.
    Compare: ​(​􀣳) yáo ‘n-gram lines’; ​(​􀣞) jiāo/jiào ‘teach/educate’; ​/​(​􁞐) jué ‘realize/understand’.
    Compare: ​(​􀊽) méng ‘cover/darkness/ignorance’ (䷃), in which ​(​􁒮) méng (phonosemantic), with ​𠔼(​􁒫) mǎo ‘double-layered covering’, ​(​􁒧𠘨) mì ‘covering’.
    Compare: ​(​􁃉𡥇) bèi ‘comet’.
