From the shape of 仌, it looks like a drawing of mountain ridge, however we already knew that in Chinese - 山 (https://xiongzou.blogspot.com/2012/01/learn-one-chinese-character-day_15.html), was drawn as as its Oracle Script. With the understanding of 冰 and 冬, 仌 is actually a drawing of ice, to be more accurate, probably ice flood of Yellow River:
ice flood of Yellow River |
仌 is simplified as 冫in modern Regular Scripts, which is used to add the meaning of cold or icy in the Combined Ideogram Chinese characters, like 冰 and 冬 mentioned above. 冬 has an old form of writing as in case you are wondering.
That is all for 仌, let us enjoy a Chinese calligraphy with 仌 inside:
