Glyph origin

	Old Chinese
班	*praːn
斑	*praːn

Characters in the same phonetic series (班) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 珏 (“pieces of jade”) + 文 (“tattoo; stripe”). However, the component 珏 appears as a more conservative version 玨. The original meaning was "mixed colours" with a reference to jade pieces, then it turned into "stripe, spot, mark".

Etymology 1

Either the same etymon as 班 (OC *praːn) or related to 駁 (OC *praːwɢ).
