·    Similar to a reduced variant of cha. The full variant of cha has “feelers”, but the full variant of se never has.

·    Do not confuse with bo, where the two elements on the side each have a vertical spine of three non-touching dots (and the two elements are also more in the middle of the vertical axis, rather than touching the bottom, as here in se.

·    Subvariants (2):

o A. Boulder:

§ A boulder outline – a tendency to be rectangular, with more height than width.

§ LEM at the top, attached to (or slightly free of) the ceiling.

§ An “inverted-L” on the left and an “inverted-L” on the right.

§ Optional bolding on the long side of the L.

o B. Skull:

§ A standard skull:

·      Nose-hole.

·      Bone-jaw with 3 touching dots as teeth on the top.

·      %-sign.

§ The boulder (sub)variant at the top of the skull, not fully infixed, but partially covering the top and extending above it.
