圈
quān
circle; ring; loop (CL:個|个[ge4])
classifier for loops, orbits, laps of race etc; to surround; to circle
enclosing border (囗) + phonetic hint (卷) = a circle or ring
囗 is the enclosing border, visually capturing the idea of something bounded and round. 卷 is phonetic here — its pronunciation juǎn is close enough to quān that ancient scribes borrowed it for sound, not meaning.
