礻 (shì)
1. Same as "示" (shì). Used as a radical. Commonly referred to as "示字旁" (shì zì páng), meaning "the showing character side".
2. (Pictophonetic. The small seal character form shows "二" (èr) as the ancient script for "上" (shàng), and the three vertical lines represent the sun, moon, and stars. In oracle bone script, it appears as "T", resembling an altar. "示" is a radical in Chinese characters, often related to sacrifice and rituals. The primary reading is (qí). The original meaning refers to the earth god. The extended meaning involves letting people see, to show).
3. To manifest; to indicate. 示 means to show or to present. —《华严经音义》 (Huāyán jīng yīnyì)
