### Glyph origin

* Historical forms of the character 㐬
* Shang
* Oracle bone script
Pictogram (象形) : a newborn baby, shown upside down. The upper portion is an inverted 子. The three lower lines represent amniotic fluid or hair, the latter interpretation thought almost certainly incorrect by Henshall. The interpretation as fluid is supported by the comparison of 旒 (liú) and 游 (yóu), originally variants of one another. (Note that the oracle bone form of 子 also depicted hair.)(Can this etymology be sourced?)
