Glyph origin
.

Etymology
From ; compare 🇨🇬.

Alternatively, it may be from, whence 🇨🇬, but there is no trace of r in Chinese.

In some modern lects, including Mandarin, Gan, Jin, Wu, and Xiang, and even in the literary layer of some Min dialects, the word reflects a form with final. For example, in standard Mandarin, the word is pronounced bí (implying an old entering tone) instead of bì (the expected reflex from the departing tone in Middle Chinese). This is due to a phonological phenomenon in the northwest, either an early loss of in the  cluster before regular final cluster simplification occurred, or a dialectal change from  to.
