Explanation


Shell bone script of character Sun: The character Sun is a round like cycle, plus a short line inside, which is the light indicator, same as the line(s) in characters Moon or Evening. The script is not very round because it was curved on shell or bone, difficult to make it smooth and round.


Bronze script of character Sun: It is smoothly round because the big seal script was casted with bronze, easy to make it smooth and round. 


Small seal script of character Sun: It is like a rectangle on the top and side, and a curve on the bottom, the inside line is connected with two vertical lines.


Clerical script of character: A rectangle with in horizontal line inside.
