“Set sail for adventure! This radical brings the power of maritime travel, the craftsmanship of boat-building, and the adventure of the open water to its kanji. When it sits on the left, think of vessels of all sizes, the motion of sailing, and the heavy transport of goods across rivers and seas. It is the radical of the master shipwright, the brave sailor, and the tireless merchant.”
