裔
yì
(bound form) descendants
(bound form) of ... ancestry (as in 華裔|华裔[Hua2 yi4] "of Chinese descent"); (literary) distant lands; (literary) fringe; periphery
window (冏) + clothing (衣) = descendants spread to distant lands
冏 depicts a window or opening, suggesting light streaming outward to distant edges — evoking those who have spread to the fringes, far from the ancestral center. 衣 (clothing) is mainly phonetic here, lending the sound yì rather than a clothing meaning.
