{{zh-forms|s=辩|ss=弁|alt=辡,辨,䛒,𧦪,𧦬,𮗿,𧩵,𰁏}}

===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|辡|言|c1=p|c2=s|t2=say|ls=psc}}. However, the phonetic component (which is the reduplication of the Kangxi radical of the knife to mark prisoners) perhaps symbolizes two prisoners accusing each other, hence "debating in an aggressive manner".
