stamp, seal, mark, imprint, symbol, emblem, trademark, evidence, souvenir, India
印 centers on a physical mark that represents identity or authority: a stamp, seal, or imprint. It extends naturally to symbols, emblems, trademarks, and evidence left behind, as well as the country name India, which is written with this character.
印 originally depicted a hand pressing down on a kneeling person, representing the act of stamping or sealing. The modern form retains the right-side kneeling-person component 卩, while the left side is a simplified hand shape.
The left side looks like a hand pressing a stamp down onto the right-side kneeling person 卩, leaving an imprint or seal.
For イン, imagine pressing a stamp into an ink pad: ink -> イン, and the stamp leaves a mark.
