寰㝢 (The first character is pronounced 環. The second character has the fanqie 于 + 矩. It is the Great Seal script form of the character 㝢. The correct orthography now is 宇. Du's commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: 'In a state, the four hanging eaves [borders] are 宇.' The Erya says: '宇 means vast.' Yinwenzi says: 'The four directions, above, and below are called 宇.' The Shuowen says: 'Formed with "roof" [宀] as semantic and 于 as phonetic.')
