CHINESE CHARACTER FORMATION & ETYMOLOGY

 

 

仌

 

 

4 strokes ( 冫)

ㄅlㄥ1 (ping1)

bīng

 

仌 = ice => its exact etymology is unknown, but the character −formed by the characters 人 + 人− is reminiscent of the Han character for river, i.e.巜 (radical 47), and perhaps referring to its frozen condition - alternatively it is written 冰 or 冫
