===Alternative forms===
* In [[Traditional Chinese]], Japanese [[kyūjitai]], Korean [[hanja]], the component {{m|mul|𦰩}} for this character is written with {{l|mul|廿}} on top. Note that the bottom portion is written {{l|mul|口}} overlapped by {{l|mul|夫}} and not {{l|mul|中}} on top of {{l|mul|天}}.
* In Vietnamese [[Hán Nôm]], {{m|mul|𦰩}} can be written with {{l|mul|廿}}, {{l|mul|龷}}, or {{l|mul|艹}} on top. But the most common variant of {{m|mul|𦰩}} is with {{l|mul|龷}} written on top.
* In Japanese [[shinjitai]], the component {{m|mul|𦰩}} is written with <big>{{l|mul|sc=Jpan|艹}}</big> on top and has one stroke less. Due to [[w:Han unification|Han unification]], both traditional Chinese and Japanese shinjitai forms are encoded under the same [[code point]]. The appearance of this character will differ depending on the font used.
* In [[Simplified Chinese]], the component {{m|mul|𦰩}} is simplified to {{l|mul|又}} instead, giving the character {{l|mul|汉}} (<code>U+6C49</code>).
* Two [[w:CJK Compatibility Ideographs|compatibility ideographs]] exist for this character. <code>U+FA47</code> corresponds to the [[kyūjitai]] form of this character while <code>U+FA9A</code> corresponds to the alternative form used in North Korea which is similar to Japanese shinjitai.

===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|水|暵|ls=psc|c1=s|c2=p|abb2=y|t1=water}} or [[熯]] (or [[難]] according to Xu Shen) – name of a river in China ([[漢水]] or [[漢江]]). Xu Shen links the third contracted phonetic component to the ancient variant [[灘]]. The component to the left as a result of a contraction appears as a variant of [[堇]], which is the pictogram of a man burned alive as a sacrifice. It is partly unclear whether or not the phonetic component also suggests a morphological feature of the Han river (e.g., a dry river or a river that flows with difficulty) or simply indicates part of the pronounciation; Xu Shen puts no explanation.

A second ancient variant of the character reported by Xu Shen is [[㵄]] (perhaps analyzable as [[淢]] and [[大]]).

The usage for the Chinese ethnicity first appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, claiming the Han dynasty as one of the golden ages of Chinese history. Before the Han dynasty, the Chinese referred their land as [[華夏]] ("Huaxia"), and themselves as [[諸華]] ("various Hua people") or [[諸夏]] ("various people/descendants of the Xias"). "Xia" ("Summer; great, splendid") also gave the name to the first semi-legendary Chinese dinasty, the Xia Dinasty ([[夏朝]]).
