The radical character 又's ancient form is a pictogram of a right hand from which the modern Chinese character 右 (right) was derived. Though 又 (again) as a modern Chinese character no longer represents the meaning of "right", the implication of "hand" is preserved in some Chinese characters that fall under radical 29.
Compare 力, 九, 彐, 爪 and 手; unrelated to 夂, 夊 and 文. Component of 寸, 支, 攴-攵, 殳, 父, and 皮. Sometimes written as 彐 such as in 雪 and 尹.
