{兵} bīng “soldier” ♪→ {𰻞(𰻞麵)} biáng(biáng miàn) “biangbiang noodles”

From a Hongmen society secret Taoist talisman-like symbol composed of 戀 “to long for”, 汨 “Ming dynasty”, 戈 “spear; weapon”, 馬 “people” (southeastern secret societies slang) and two 長 “long”, conveying meanings “to long for the Ming” and “strong weapons and sturdy horses/people, long-devoted members of the organization”. Later 穴 (comes either from 共 < 洪 as in 洪門 “Hongmen” or from distorted 雨 “rain” from typical Taoist characters or talismans) was added and 戈 was changed to a synonymoys 刀 “knife”. This and many other related characters were used for many different words; the usage of these characters for {𰻞(𰻞麵)} is based on one of their usages for {兵}.
