Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – the sun. A dot or line was added in the centre to distinguish it from visually similar characters, e.g. 口 (kǒu). Compare earlier forms of the character with the astronomical and astrological symbol for the Sun (☉) and the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓇳. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ku-ni(k). Cognate to Tibetan ཉི་མ (nyi ma, “sun, day”), Burmese နေ (ne, “sun”) or Burmese နေ့ (ne., “day”), S'gaw Karen နံၤ (nĩ, “day”), and Nuosu ꑍ (nyip, “day, daytime”).
