Pictogram (象形) – the original character for either (OC *tjaʔ, “to boil”) or (OC *tjaːɡs, “sugarcane”). Phonetically loaned for abstract meanings.

Top is unrelated to and , thus in some forms (notably the form used in the Kangxi Dictionary) there is an added dot to distinguish from these others, but this is not present traditionally.
