「Wrapped head and neck of fallen person」or「concubine skin slit and sitting」or「wrapped feet of sitting concubine (匕 so popular in dynastic China).」As an element, used in some fonts to replace the element「wrap」a「rope (noose)」around a「person」by the neck. All combinations are referring to STINKY ODOR, being ODOROUS or ODORIFEROUS in various ways, and to GIBBETING. Rotting flesh on a still-living human is known as GANGRENE and causes a horrific stench, a condition common among concubines with bound feet. GIBBETING was the practice of allowing hanged bodies to remain in plain sight publicly as long as possible as the corpse rots, also causing horrific stench. GIBBETTING was performed as a deterrent to others who might see or smell the corpse. Foot binding was performed to prevent a very young girl from escaping her life as a fuck bunny, and to provide additional places to fuck.
「Public execution…gibbeting refers to the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of executed criminals were hung [hanged] on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals. In earlier times, up to the late 17th century, live gibbeting also took place, in which the condemned was placed alive in a metal cage and left to die of thirst. As well as referring to the gibbet as a device, the term gibbet may also be used to refer to the practice of placing a criminal on display within one. This practice is also called 'hanging in chains.' …It was most often used for traitors, murderers, highwaymen, pirates, and sheep stealers and was intended to discourage others from committing similar offences. The structures were therefore often placed next to public highways (frequently at crossroads) and waterways. There are many places named Gibbet Hill in England. …In some cases, the bodies would be left until their clothes rotted or even until the bodies were almost completely decomposed, after which the bones would be scattered. …So that the public display might be prolonged, bodies were sometimes coated in tar and/or bound in chains. Sometimes, body-shaped iron cages were used to contain the decomposing corpses.」
