擁衛（上邕拱反蒼頡篇云擁持也考聲護也字書遮也說文作𢹭𢹭抱也從手雝聲今俗作擁下榮喙反王弼注易衛護也說文宿衛也從行行列也從韋從帀守禦也今隸書略云帀作衛也）。

Shield and guard (擁衛: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 邕拱 [yǒng]. The Cangjie pian says: "Yong means to support and hold." The Kaosheng says: "To protect." Character dictionaries state: "To shield." The Shuowen writes it as 𢹭, stating: "𢹭 means to embrace; deriving from 'hand' [手] with 雝 as phonetic." In common usage today it is written as 擁. The second is pronounced with the fanqie 榮喙 [wèi]. Wang Bi's commentary on the Classic of Changes says: "Wei means to protect." The Shuowen says: "Palace guards; deriving from 'to go' [行], meaning rows; and from 韋 and 帀, meaning to defend and garrison." In clerical script today it abbreviates and drops 帀, writing it as 衛).
