The character 兵 is an ideogram combining two components: the top 斤 (axe or weapon) and the bottom 八 (two hands). The visual composition shows hands wielding a weapon. Its original meaning is a weapon or arms, which later extended by association to mean the person holding it, hence the modern sense of soldier, warrior, or army, as well as military affairs and strategy.
