义(義) yì righteousness - Mandarin Chinese
Definition[edit | edit source]
Radical of the simplified form is 丶 zhŭ “dot.” Radical of the traditional form is 羊 yáng “goat,” the last stroke of which has here been shortened, with the other component being 我 wŏ. The whole character 义(義) can serve as a phonetic, e.g., in the character 议 (議), which is used in the word 建议(建議) jiànyì “suggest.” Distinguish simplified 义 from 又 yòu.
