The simple-form character 关 guān (6 strokes) is said to be an old variant of ​ (关󰀃⿱​ xiào), or a variant of ​𠔉 (juàn), re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character ​ (19 strokes), formerly abbrev. ​.
    The full-form character ​ guān ‘shut’ (with ​𢇇), formerly also wr. ​𨶚 (with ​𢇅), was abbrev. ​, and later simply 关.
    Note: 关 ← ​ ← ​(​𨶚); cf. 关/​ guān ‘shut’, ​𠔉 juàn ‘roll/ball up’.
    Compare: 关/​(​𨶚) guān ‘shut’ ← MC /kuan/; ​𠔉(​𨤑𢍏) juàn ‘roll/ball up’ ← MC /kjuans/ (SBGY).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​(​𨶚) guān ‘shut (a door)’ combines ​/​ (mén) ‘double-leaf doors’, and ​𢇇(​𢇅) guān ‘ply the shuttle in the loom’ (phonosemantic): apply the wooden bolt (through the lock of the door, to bolt/lock the door), as plying the shuttle (carrying weft through warp).
    Compare: ​ guān ‘coffin’, in SW glossed with a pun on ​; ​/​ guān ← MC /kuan/ (SBGY).
    Compare: ​, ​/​ shuān ‘door bolt’, formerly also wr. ​𣠸, ​𢩠, ​𣟴.
    Compare: ​/​ wān ‘draw a bow’, formerly also wr. ​.
    Compare: ​/​ guàn ‘string/pierce/penetrate’, formerly wr. ​; ​穿 chuān/chuàn ‘penetrate/string’.
    Note: As a component the form 关 stands for various old components.
    Compare: ​/​(​) lián ‘link’; ​ liánxì; 关​ guānxi.
    Compare: ​(​) sòng ‘send’; ​(​𦩎𣍹) zhèn ‘crack/seam’.
