This is an innovation in Vietnamese, not found in Mường and other Vietic languages.\nFor the semantic relation, compare also Chinese 為 /为 (vi, “to do; to be”).\nMost prepositions in Vietnamese were originally verbs: ở (“to stay; at, in”), đến (“to come; to”), tới (“to arrive; to”), lên (“to go up; onto”), vào (“to enter; in, into”), theo (“to follow; according to”), về (“to return; about”), cho (“to give; for”).\nThe Nôm character 𫜵 was unified in Unicode with 爫 (“top form of Kangxi radical #87”) up until the version 14.0 (2021).
