• Kangxi Dictionary: page 388, character 16
• Dai Kanwa Jiten: character 10691
• Dae Jaweon: page 721, character 8
• Hanyu Da Zidian (first edition): volume 4, page 2300, character 9
• Unihan data for U+60A3

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɡroːns) : phonetic 串 (OC *kroːns, *kʰjons) + semantic 心 (“heart”).

Since Shuowen does not have the character 串, it interprets the character as phonetic 吅 (OC *qʰon, *sqʰon, *sɢoŋs) + semantic 丨 + semantic 心 (“heart”) – to pierce through something from the heart. Duan Yucai claims in his commentary that older copies of Shuowen actually have phonetic 毌 (OC *koːn, *koːns, “to pierce through”) + semantic 心 (“heart”) instead.
