面. The character portrays a simplified face with the eyes (目) at the center and the outline of the cheeks or head surrounding them. This direct depiction of a human face in oracle bone script became the standard symbol for face, surface, or aspect, preserving that visual simplicity from the Shang dynasty to the present day.
