What does double hook mean in calligraphy?

The double hook in calligraphy is a common stroke, which is usually used to describe some closed or curved glyphs. Double hooks are divided into upper hook and lower hook. The upper hook is often used to write the words "mouth" and "divination", while the lower hook generally appears in the words "person" and "genus". The appearance of these double hooks is not only for beauty, but also to improve the typesetting and popularization of fonts.
