网, a pictographic character of a net, serves as a semantic component to form characters. When it serves as a component, 网 is written as 罒.
The characters formed by the semantic component 网 express things related to the net, the function of a net, or extended meanings such as net of law, criminals, etc, e.g. 罚, 罢, 罗, 署, 罩, 罪, 置, and so forth.
Check out also the component 皿, which is very similar to 罒 in writing but totally different in meanings.
