Glyph originEdit

Historical forms of the character 十
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Bamboo and silk script	Large seal script	Small seal script

Characters in the same phonetic series (十) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
	Old Chinese
針	kjum, kjums
汁	*kjub
卙	*kʰljub
十	*ɡjub
什	*ɡjub

Unlike 一, which was one horizontal stroke meaning one, 十 was originally simply a vertical stroke. In later forms 一 was added, forming a cross.

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gip.
