> ソ comes from the Chinese character 會 ソ comes from 曾 ("once, at one point") not 會. Yes, those are different characters.

  It gets worse. 曾 and 會 in your comment look clearly distinct to me in Safari, but if I check with Firefox, they suddenly look very similar. The trick is that 曾 is sometimes written with 八 as its "roof", which makes it look like 會, and sometimes with 丷, depending on your font. (Similar to 兑 and 兌 in the article)
