Or perhaps TAMPING「repeatedly with a mattock on prepubescent girl, bent-over」to smash feet while level or horizontal as in the process of creating a service provider, the SYMBOL of that group of people being: no-longer-integrated feet.
Refers to PRESSING DOWN WITH FORCE such as when affixing one's personal SEAL or「chop」that is a name using kanji carved into ivory, soapstone, or hardwood that is first TAMPED into vermillion, thick and blood-colored (coincidentally?) powdered ore of mercuric sulfide, or cinnabar, and then PRESSED DOWN FIRMLY, used on official documents and contracts as equivalent to SIGNING one's SIGNATURE. The actual shape and strokes carved into the seal are often difficult to read, deliberately carved in a slightly strange shape so as to make everyone's seal unique and not easily counterfeited before the days of scanning and printing technology, but today rather obsolete. Means SYMBOL, since the SEALS were the SIGN and SIGNATURE that was SYMBOLIC of each person.
Make-believers say this is a「hand」(𦥑, ⺕) with someone「bent over」although for some reason the left elements are traditionally not drawn in the normal manner for「hand」instead using「repeating (upper and lower)」with「prepubescent girl」between, and「rod with no-longer-integrated feet」as it tamps away, happily oblivious.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system.
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
