Correspondence with Your Native Language

I am sorry, but I do not have access to reliable information about the correspondence of the kanji between Japanese and Vietnamese. Therefore, I cannot provide this section.

Origin and Formation

The kanji is a pictophonetic character. The original form depicts a person kneeling beside a container or receptacle. The component above likely represents a container, and the part below is associated with the person kneeling. Over time, the character evolved to represent the idea of separating or allocating to individual portions, hence “each” or "every."
