U+77E5 "知" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

It is composed of two primary radicals: the left side is "矢" (shi), meaning "arrow," and the right side is "口" (kou), meaning "mouth," which together symbolically suggest the idea of expressing knowledge swiftly and directly like an arrow from the mouth.
