Axe and loop emblems (黼: pronounced 甫 [fǔ]; 黻: pronounced 弗 [fú]. The Kaogongji says: "White and black combined is called fǔ." The Erya states: "An insignia; an axe pattern is called fǔ." Guo [Pu] says: "Painted in the shape of an axe." Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the Liji says: "Mixing lamb and white fox fur makes fǔ." Furthermore, black and green-blue combined is called fú. Du [Yu]'s commentary on the Zuozhuan says: "Two back-to-back 己 shapes opposing each other." Both characters are composed of 黹 ('embroidery') with 甫 and 犮 phonetic respectively. Collected editions have [(山/用)*甫] and 𤟮, which are vulgar characters. 黹 is pronounced in the fanqie 竹几 [zhǐ]; 犮 is pronounced in the fanqie 盤鉢 [bō]).
