98.85

Steadfast integrity: 砥 [di] (upper character: 脂 + 雉 fanqie; also written as 底, already explained before; the collection writing it as 𰦧 is a vulgar character); 操 [cao] (lower character: 草 + 竈 fanqie. Gu Yewang says: "Holding one's purpose firm and constant is called cao." The Shuowen jiezi analyzes it: from radical 手 'hand', with 喿 phonetic; 喿 is pronounced 先 + 到 fanqie).
