布
bù
cloth
to declare; to announce; to spread; to make known
a picture of 布 → cloth spread out flat
The top portion of 布 is not a standard named component — it likely reflects an ancient hand gesture or a simplified form related to spreading. The cloth radical 巾 anchors the core meaning: fabric, something draped or spread out.
