Glyph origin
Representing a doorleaf, in the form of a wooden panel with bronze flashing along one edge, terminating in two cylindrical bronze pins that turned in the hinge. Because this sign was usually accompanied by horizontal signs such as 𓉻 (

), it was typically written in a horizontal orientation as well in order to better fill the available space.
