A small fire on a torch, when used as the original form of 主 (which is unrelated with the right part of 往 < 𢓸); otherwise, it was just a point.
However, in most of the Chinese characters, it can represent many different things: ice (冰), water (汉), minerals (金, 丹), an eye (鸟), grains of sand (小), grains of salt (鹵), kernel of millet used to produce sacrifical wine (鬯), fire (火, 然), a tattoo on face as a form of punishment (黑), air coming out of a speaking mouth (兑), a line over a bifurcated tongue to underline the concept of "speaking" (言) or a line over a chisel to mark prisoners (辛), grass (草), the upper part of a door (户), the horns of a sheep (羊) or a lamb (羔), one horn of a cow or bull (牛, 告), a decoration on top of a flagpole (旅), a footprint pointing upwards (往, 之), the head of a man with a tattoo on his chest (文), the head of a man standing (立), the point of a roof (字, 京, 高), wine coming out of a vessel (酋)...
