description

With 28 combinations of characters in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary, there are relatively few characters that can be found under this radical in the lexicon.

The radical "net" takes only in the traditional characters - list of traditional radicals consisting of 214 radicals 122. position. It can be found in a completely different place in modern abbreviation dictionaries.

In older reference works, this radical, which is like a transverse eye (目), can be looked up under six lines and 网 / 網 (= net). This shape is also almost the same as the seal script shape. It represents a network of threads.

In compound characters, 网 appears in the form 罒 of the horizontal eye (目 mù), such as in 罗 (= safety net). The Cihai describes this shape as 横 目 头 (hengmùtou = horizontal eye). The variant ⺳ (U + 2EB3) is very rare and only occurs in 罕 and 罙.

As a bearer of meaning, 网 creates the context of meaning net as in 罩 (= covering, but originally a fish or bird trap made of bamboo mesh), 罪 (= crime, originally a bamboo fish trap), 罟 (= fishing net), 署 (= office). The character 蜀 (Shu = short form for the province of Sichuan 四川 and a state of the three kingdoms ) actually meant moth larva. The seal font clearly shows the worm (虫) and a component as a head, which later became the horizontal eye. So it has nothing to do with the network.
