Etymology

edit

Before Qing dynasty, the character was used in word 碼瑙／码瑙 (Yupian) and 碼頭／码头 (mǎtou) (Stories to Awaken the World), both originally written with 馬／马 (mǎ).

“gambling chip”, “chip for counting” (> “number”), “classifier for things”
Appears in Qing dynasty, also originally written with 馬／马 (mǎ). See 馬／马 (mǎ) for more.
“yard”
Used in 《英吉利国舆情记略》 (1834), probably a derivation of "counting chip" sense which is used for translating English yard.
“kilometer per hour”
Probably a corruption of 邁／迈 (mài) (mile > mile per hour > kilometer per hour).
“pixelization”
Short for 馬賽克／马赛克 (mǎsàikè).
“to reply to a post for reading it later”
From English mark.
