<p>A variant bā character for 巴掌 I figured would be quite easy to find, but nothing is showing up in searches for <code>北人强以刮字當之</code>, etc.</p>

<p>The only variant I know for 巴 is  but I can't seem to find any《說文》material for .</p>

<p>Can anyone fill in the blanks (read: question marks)? What is the variant bā character for 巴掌?</p>

「」 fulfils the statement `《說文》：‘��，��擊也。’` (check the Shuowen entry on zdic), and also everything else.

> **耳巴**，或作 “耳「」”。民國十八年《榮縣志·禮俗》：“《說文》： ‘獸足謂之番。’ 附袁切。古無輕唇音，番讀如班，今音如板， 手掌謂手番， 足掌曰足番，雙聲轉「」。《說文》： ‘「」，「」（批）擊也。’ 今「」掌、耳「」，北人强以刮字當之， 非也。”
