Historical forms of the character寧
Shang	Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled inHan)	Liushutong (compiled inMing)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Oracle bone script: Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 宀(“house”) + 皿(“food or wine vessel”) + 丂(“table (?)”) – contentment. The心 (“heart”) component was added inbronze inscriptions to yield寧, and the丂 component was sometimes omitted to yield寍.

Shuowen:Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*neːŋ): phonetic 寍(OC*neːŋ) + semantic 丂(“speech (?)”).

Note that the simplified form宁 (zhù) is also a traditional character on its own.

Either related toBurmeseညင်း(nyang:,“soft, gentle, quiet”) or connected toProto-Sino-Tibetan*s/k-niŋ(“heart, mind, brain”) (Schuessler, 2007)
