Source: Browser Default
U+525B "剛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "hard," "firm," or "strong," often used to describe unyielding toughness or rigidity. It combines the radical for a knife or sword on the right, suggesting cutting or sharpness, with a component on the left that historically hints at a net or constraint, though its overall meaning has evolved to convey strength and resoluteness. This character appears in various East Asian contexts, including Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar connotations of robustness and is frequently found in names, philosophical terms, and compound words like "gōki" (剛毅) meaning "fortitude."
