Radicals

sun, dayThis radical was developed from a circle with a central dot as the image of the sun. As you can hardly draw circles or dots with a brush, it became the current rectangular shape.
avoid, escapeThis radical is similar to rabbit 兔, which escapes with its long legs. (Note the difference to the radical 'brilliant' 奂, which shows a woman giving birth.)
