In the (1986 edition) of the official List of Simplified Characters, as printed in the Appendix of YIN Binyong's "Modern Chinese Characters", 将 is listed with a special footnote (which I can't type in either Unicode or Mule!) that says: 石上角从夕, 不从[4-stroke version of 夕]或[爪-component]. which I take to say "the top right corner is from 夕, not from [4-stroke version of 夕] or [爪-component]". Unfortunately, it doesn't explain further in what way this is the case. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
