Pictogram (象形) : clouds flowing through the sky; its variant is 乞 (OC *kʰɯds, *kʰɯd).

In the oracle bone script, it was represented by three horizontal strokes, expressing the "feeling" of the sky. However, in order to avoid confusion with the number 三 (OC *suːm, *suːms), 气 (OC *kʰɯds) was changed to draw a small stroke from top to bottom.

Semantically unrelated to 氣 (OC *kʰɯds, *qʰɯds) and its variant 餼 (OC *qʰɯds) due to a different meaning ("give food as a gift").

For pronunciation and definitions of 气 – see 氣 (“gas; air; etc.”). (This character is the simplified and variant form of 氣).

Notes: Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Mainland China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Traditional Chinese is mainly used in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

For pronunciation and definitions of 气 – see 乞 (“to beg; to request; etc.”). (This character is a variant form of 乞).

For pronunciation and definitions of 气 – see 餼 (“foodgrain as a gift; foodgrain; etc.”). (This character is an ancient variant form of 餼).
