I almost forgot: Thank you for providing the reference as well! I did not know these documents had been published by the Academia Sinica - that is good to know!

<p>I am currently reading official documents from the early twentieth century and there is one character which occurs frequently but for which I have so far not been able to find a translation. It is basically a combination of 山 and 大, 山 being the raidal on the left and 大 being on the right-hand side.</p>
<p>Any advice is appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Character Combining 山 and 大
# Character Combining 山 and 大

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-07-16)

I am currently reading official documents from the early twentieth century and there is one character which occurs frequently but for which I have so far not been able to find a translation. It is basically a combination of 山 and 大, 山 being the raidal on the left and 大 being on the right-hand side.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

This is a variant of 此 *cǐ* "this, here". This variant, although resembling ⿰山大, is actually [usually decomposed as ⿽大〣](https://zi.tools/zi/%E2%BF%BD%E5%A4%A7%E3%80%A3).
