冂
jiōng
radical in Chinese characters (Kangxi radical 13), occurring in 用[yong4], 同[tong2], 網|网[wang3] etc, referred to as 同字框[tong2 zi4 kuang4]
a picture of 冂 → an open frame or enclosure
冂 originally depicted a simple boundary — two walls and an open top, like a gate or a plot of land seen from above. It appears in characters like 同 and 用 not as a picture of something, but as a structural frame that encloses other elements.
