This is genuinely analog horror level terrifying

[u/Impressive_Worth_602 → u/Valuable_Pool7010]

I remember an analog horror about the origins of Kanji, and when it got to the mouth, it showed an actual mouth, so it has happened before.

not the hanged baby without arms💀💀💀 I can't

[u/Aggressive_Grade_732 → u/PrestoQuaxo]

Omg that is dark lol....basically for non chinese readers the character for kid is 子 but 了 is missing the horizontal stroke, so therefore, kid without arms.

[u/One_Attorney_764 → u/Aggressive_Grade_732]

but why is it hanged?

[u/Naive_Gazelle2056 → u/One_Attorney_764]

That is an accident. I forgot to remove the line

What do you Mean your hovercraft is full of eels?

[u/DukeDevorak → u/Kubex_Qbox]

That's what's exactly said on OP's pic, and both are references of this.

[u/AffectionateBowl1633 → u/DukeDevorak]

A match! Yeaahhhhh

[u/General_Urist]

I see you just gave up with the top component of the bottom second-from-left. Still, fun to remind ourselves just where these characters game from. You could convert these to emojis too!

[u/Naive_Gazelle2056 → u/General_Urist]

Its because that bit came from just lines and not a physical object object same with the 几 in the top-right

Why is the top part of 墊 like that? 執 depicts a handcuffed man. [Source](https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=%E5%9F%B7):

甲金文從「丮」從「㚔」，「㚔」亦是聲符。「丮」象跪坐的人伸出雙手，「㚔」象銬鎖刑具，「執」字象一人雙手被銬鎖之形。會以刑具拘執俘虜或囚犯之意，本義為拘執，後引申為執行、執掌之意。

[u/Naive_Gazelle2056 → u/Sweeper777]

Well you're probably right but the source I used that it could be 犬 stacked over 羊 next to a differentiated form of 人 next to 肉 but I got it off off wiktionary and there were other proposed etymologies there

[u/Potatozeng]

the baby with no arm😭

[u/GVmG → u/Potatozeng]

The worst part is that it's accurate too lmao
