Composed of

divining rod

one

Mnemonic

A pictograph of a magical divining rod hovering above the ground.

Do not confuse it with 下, which also features a magical levitating divining rod, however that one is crooked, so it's incorrectly hovering right below the ceiling instead of doing it properly above the ground like this one is.
