Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *kjaŋ): phonetic 章 (OC *kjaŋ, “emblem”) + semantic 彡 (“colorful patterns”) – conspicuous. Apparently an alternative form originally of 章 (OC *kjaŋ, “composition”). Note also similarities to Burmese တင့် (tang., “comely”) (Luce, 1981), particularly if the Old Chinese reconstruction is the same as Baxter-Sagart's for 章 (zhāng).
