marumarumarumaru?[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The last row of the column at Other special marks shows a single circle in the first cell, and then gives “marumaru” as the name. So what's the name for “two of them”, as described in the ‘usage’ column? marumarumarumaru? Either way, that should be made clear in the name column. (If the name given refers to the double circle, it would also be possible to double the circle in the first cell, but that is never done in any other row.) Sebastian 06:35, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected this: the symbol is maru (obviously), and marumaru refers to two of them. Somehow reading some of this article leaves me feeling I understood it better before reading... (Apologies for the fumbled edit explanations) Imaginatorium (talk) 12:21, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that solves the issue. ◅ Sebastian 03:31, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

庵点[edit]

Is there any explanation for the name 庵点? Neither do i see a connection to the meaning of 庵, (except, with a lot of imagination, possibly 庵形 - at least the radical 广, when mirrored, has a remote resemblance to the sign) nor does the sign resemble a dot. Sebastian 06:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it just the "shape of a roof", in the sense of "a roof over your head", a shelter? Imaginatorium (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there's a remote resemblance. (Maybe more to an abri than to a roof, which would befit the choice of this particular character instead of something with the radical 宀.) But of course, in the several thousand years of their history, East Asian symbols have experienced some changes that are hard to follow. But this, for me, is one of the hardest to follow. ◅ Sebastian 03:30, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
