“Oink! This radical is all about the sturdy, valuable animals that have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. In ancient times, a pig was a major symbol of family wealth and abundance. When you see it, think of livestock, prosperity, and the earthy quality of a family farm. It brings a sense of grounded wealth and domestic contentment to any character it joins.”
