### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 丨 :
| Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
According to Shuowen Jiezi, it's the pictogram of a vertical wooden stick. It appears in the original version of 朕, which originally meant "to mend a boat", and in 尹, in which the stick symbolizes authority.
However, as a component of the Chinese characters, it can represent a vast variety of things other than sticks.
