Components

ideograph
neat; uniform; complete
Simplified from in the 1956 reform — the traditional form pictured three grain heads ripening at the same height, the canonical image of 'even, level, all together'. Modern keeps that three-spike silhouette in stylized cursive, but is no longer analyzable into independent components. Itself a Kangxi radical (#210), though barely productive in modern Chinese.
