About

尜 is a noun for a traditional child's spinning top, a small spindle-shaped toy. Its unique structure visually represents the object: the component 小 (small) is stacked on 大 (big), with another 小 at the bottom. This symmetrical arrangement, small at the ends and large in the middle, creates a direct diagram of a spinning top with a wide center and tapered ends, making it a rare character whose form is a geometric depiction of its meaning.
