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’.
