枼

枼 icon

leaf, slice

枼 is composed of 世 (generation, leaves) and 木 (wood). 世 is a pictograph of branches and leaves, while 木 is a pictograph of a tree. Thus, 枼 depicts a tree full of leaves, originally meaning leaves or thin slices. Nowadays, 枼 is not used independently and only serves as a component in other characters, such as 葉 (leaf) and 碟 (dish).
