About
The character 伞 is a simplified form of 傘, a pictograph of an umbrella. In its traditional structure, a broad canopy rests on a central pole with a handle, sheltering four 人 (person) components beneath it to directly represent an umbrella shielding people. The simplified version reduces the internal 人 elements to two simple strokes below the canopy. The meaning has consistently denoted an umbrella or parasol for protection against rain or sun, extending to anything umbrella-shaped.
