Pictogram (象形) . The traditional (and incorrect) etymology says that 嘼 originally was a pictogram of an animal, with 吅 being the ears, 囟 (simplified to 田) being the head, and 禸 (simplified to 𠮛) being the tail. This character appears in 獸, and it is a variant of a Y-shape weapon with two rocks on the top, 單 > 单. The wrong etymology can be found in the Shuowen Jiezi. Xu Shen says that this characters means 㹌, "beast".
