(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The character ​ is today used as the simplified form of 錄 lù ‘to record’, and as a component in simple-form characters (see below); ​ (8 strokes) is a late variant of the older form ​ (8 strokes); as a component in full-form characters (such as 錄) it is wr. with the older form ​.
    Note: ​ is the simple form, and the full form is 錄; the full-form component ​ is not commonly used among full-form characters (except as a component, see below).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/​(​􁋔𢑗) lù ‘trim/carve wood’ is said to depict a decapitated tree, chopped down and fallen over on its stump, stripped of branches and bark; the top is like ​𡕒(​􀻜) the bottom of ​(​􀻚) jiàng ‘fall’ (​), or like ​/​(​􁧻) jì ‘head/snout’ of a butchered/decapitated ​(​􁧿) tuàn ‘pig’, or like ​(​􂠊) jīn ‘axe’ (turned, planted in the tree stump); the bottom shape ​ is as in ​𠧳(​􁋓) the old form of ​(​􁋑𠅏􁋒𠅡) kè ‘bear/shoulder’, said to depict a carved/finished wooden beam (stripped of branches and bark).
    Compare: ​/​(​􀯹􀯺𠚬) bō/bāo ‘split/peel’, in which ​/​(​􁋔𢑗) lù (phonosemantic); ​ is sometimes seen as an old wr. of ​.
    The full-form character 錄 lù ‘record’ (formerly syn. with ​绿/​ lǜ ‘golden/greenish-yellow color’) is also wr. ​ (which is the PRC full form; cf. ​).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​(​􂝀錄) lù ‘golden/greenish-yellow color’ combines ​ ‘metal/gold’, and ​(​􁋔𢑗) lù (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. ​绿/​(​􂑝) lǜ.
    Compare: ​𢑛(​􁣨), variant of ​(​􁣧􁣦) mèi ‘ghost/demon’, with the severed ​(​􁧻) ‘head/snout’ of a ​(​􁧿) ‘pig’ over its ​(​􁜵) wěi ‘tail’ (abbrev. phonetic).
    Older graphs associated with ​/​ (HDZ) are linked with ​, said to depict a ​ lùlu ‘well winch/windlass’ (with bucket, for hoisting water from a well); cf. ​/​, ​.
    Note: Very old use of ​/​ as phonetic in ​/​ suggests an old initial cluster pr- (Baxter).
    Compare: ​, the usual form of the component in (PRC) simple-form characters (​绿, ​, ​, …).
    Compare: ​, the usual form of the component in (ROC) full-form characters (​, ​, ​祿, ​, …; cf. ​/​/​绿, 錄/​).
