The story

A cart (車) tucked under a halberd (戈) with a cross (十) on top: picture a war cart loaded high. 載 loads a cart or a page: 載る is to appear in print, as in 辞書に載っている, it's in the dictionary, and 連載 is a serial, like a manga that runs week by week.

Used in 載る (noru, to appear in print), 掲載 (keisai, publication), and 連載 (rensai, serialization)
