Meaning of a certain character (seal or bone script)

nín hǎo!

I am considering getting a chinese character as a tattoo. Allow me to explain: [Hexagram 50](http://inthefamilyway.org/iching/hexagrams/h50/) from the I Ching has a special meaning for me personally. On the linked page, you can see an old character displayed with it. This character seems to be from seal script or from bone script, i am not sure.

I would like to use this character for a tattoo. Could you be so kind and confirm that this character really means 'vessel' | 'cauldron' | '[Ding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding_(vessel))) (ritual bronze, for my understanding is that this is the object the concept refers to)' or, alternatively, tell me i am wrong or this is doubtful? Naturally, i am very hesitant to only verify this myself via random webpages.

I would not use it if the meaning is not sure or if this would be greatly disrespectful for Chinese, so if this is the case, please do not hesitate to tell me.

Thank you for your time!
