Coronet and cap (冕𦨕: the first character has the sound m- [眉] + -iǎn [辨] fanqie. Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'The six ceremonial robes all use the coronet (冕); it is an exalted head ornament.' The Shiben states: 'The Yellow Emperor created the coronet.' The Kaosheng says: '冕 means a cap.' The Shuowen says: 'Formed from [the hat radical] 曰 with miǎn (免) as phonetic. 曰 has the sound m- [毛] + -ào [報] fanqie').
