The Shuōwén Seal form of 上(丄) shàng ‘up above/over’ combines a horizontal line 一 representing the horizon (surface of the earth, as in 至), and a vertical line up above signifying ‘up/above’; formerly wr. 𠄞.
    Compare: 下(丅𠄟) xià ‘down below/under’, which is the inverse of 上(丄𠄞); 卡 qiǎ/kǎ ‘checkpoint/pinch’.
    Note: The modern form 上 is like the variant 丄 with an extra dot (卜 is not a trad. comp. of 上); some Seal forms of 上󰀂(丄) have a curved vertical line marked above with the dot; the old form 𠄞 can be seen as Seal component; that old form was not used as an independent character in order to avoid confusion with 二 èr ‘two’.
    Compare: 示, 帝, 云, 辰(𨑃), 亥, 㫄, 㱏, 言, 䇂.
    Older graphs associated with 𠄞(丄上) have a curved U-shaped line below, suggesting a right-side up bowl (holding water/food), and another line above representing the contents of the bowl.
    Compare: 曲 qū ‘curved basket’; 匚(𠥓) fāng ‘square vessel/basket’; 匸 xì ‘cover/conceal’.
    Compare: ☳ 震 zhèn (䷲), 辰(𨑃), in which the old form of 上(丄𠄞) is a component.
