There's a famous cat on YouTube named "Maru"「MARU まる」who is as *round* as a "*yen*"「EN エン」coin, and will climb any !

From Middle Chinese 圓/ziuᴇn, ɦˠiuᴇn/, with the original sense of "circle, roundness".

The yen sense came much later, in the Meiji period, from Chinese 圓/yuán, itself from 銀圓/yínyuán, “round silver object, especially a piece of eight”. Compare Chinese 元/yuán, and Korean 원/won.

The yen became the official currency of Japan in 1871, succeeding the 両 and the 文 .

Two in an are usually worth one yen.

I opened my , there's only one yen inside

My round are エン. Probably because I bought them for one yen.

Looks like a sideways and a below it = en.

Did he really think you'd be happy hav{EN} to count this many yen coins?? You're gonna beat him with your next time you see him.

If want to marry/まるい two squares instead of CIRCLES, it will cost an EN-dless/えん amount of YEN/えん.

Everything I see is round due to my one yen !

“After the meaning “elbow” was forgotten, 九 was taken to symbolize a fist tightening to bump up against something; thus, there is a metaphorical bumping up of nine against ten, which is the last number when counting on one's fingers.”

Or, as Henshall puts it, “less than perfect ten: worth only nine.” Thus, 乙 is the radical because 九 is an example of something less than perfect.
