Formed with [the semantic element] hū (虍; fanqie 呼) and [the semantic element] 'human' (人), because the tiger's feet resemble human feet." The lower character has the fanqie 包貌.

The character is formed with [the semantic element] zhì (豸) and [the phonetic element] bāo (包) abbreviated. Zhì is pronounced zhì").
