Evolution
[edit]- Bronze script character
- Large seal script character
Note that in modern Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese, radical ice in some characters (e.g. 冬, 寒) is now written as two dots. Their original forms are retained in Korean hanja and some old Traditional Chinese typefaces (e.g. 冬, 寒).
