27.162

Reform (𠊳): bianmian [fanqie], in the falling tone. The Zitong says: "When a person does not act well, changing it brings peace. Hence the Lunyu says: 'They change (geng 更), and all men look up to them.' Therefore it is formed from 人 'person' and 㪅 'change'; the character 㪅 is formed from 丙 and 攴; 攴 has the fanqie sound pubu."
