Your favorite kanji by radical: ⺡

Hello everyone!

I am continuing the serie “Your favorite kanji by radical”. The idea is to share your favorite kanji that contains a specific radical (a different one each week) and explain briefly why you like it.

This week’s radical is: ⺡.

Let me start! I think my favorite is 泡 (bubble). I like the shape and the decomposition: ⺡(water) + 包 (wrapped, package) = wrapped water! (Also, I should add that, in general, I like kanjis with the element 包).

What’s yours?

淵 depths, abyss

It just looks like the pattern on some ancient ruins or something, and add that to the meaning and it feels quite mysterious.

渦 I guess. It looks like itself too.

“Water-wrapped” seems to be more suiting for 泡.

Perhaps 酒? It looks like a glowing bottle to me.

Both of my favourite water-kanji in a single toponym:

But I especially like the 溺 for the existential poetry of its construction.

Woah! :astonished: Pretty cool indeed! I had never seen this one.

Yeah, you’re right. And good one! :smile:

I like 泳, but my favorite is probably 海, because 海の御先 (manga).

I like 汽, I just like how odd and empty it looks. The X is def missing in there.
