The character 票 (11 strokes) is an old abbrev. of old forms such as 𤐫 (18 strokes), with a shape like 覀 (6 strokes) replacing the top of the old form, and with 示 (5 strokes) replacing the bottom.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 票(𤐫) piāo ‘leaping/flying flames/sparks’ combines 火() huǒ ‘fire’ and 𢍱(𦦒) qiān ‘rise up’ (abbrev.); sparks fly up from the fire, and climb up over the treetops, floating/drifting off into the night sky, and merging with the stars; cf. 标/標(𣠙).
Note: The modern form 票 is an old abbrev. (隶书), with 𡭕 for 火 (cf. 尉), and 覀 for the rest; formerly also wr. 㶾/𤌑 (intermediary old forms), and 𦊎; 示 is not a component of the old form 𤐫, but cf. 示() shì ‘heavenly bodies’.
Note: The common modern reading 票 piào is not the old primary old reading 票 piāo (HDZ).
Compare: 标/標(𣠙) biāo ‘treetop; branch tip; handle of the Big Dipper’.
Compare: 飘/飄(𩙞) piāo ‘whirlwind’; 漂(𤄚) piāo ‘float/drift’.
“[票/𤐫] Ignis fatuus (vulgo 鬼火 phantom-fire). The Chinese fear them. On the top, 覀 the bust of the hobgoblin. At the bottom, 火 the flame that takes the place of the body's lower part. In the middle, 一 the waist. The modern meanings of this character, ‘a warrant, a bill’, are 转注 zhuǎnzhù (things that are feared)” —Wieger.
Note: Wieger (or his sources) may be associating the top component 囟 of 票(𤐫) with 甶 the head of 鬼 ‘demon’; cf. 粦.
Compare: 䙴(𠨧) qiān ‘climb/vanish’ (as in 遷/迁 ‘move/change’); 农/農(䢉𨑇) nóng ‘farming’; 要(𦥺) yào ‘want’.
