About
The character 好 is an ideogrammatic compound combining 女 (woman/mother) on the left and 子 (child/offspring) on the right. This pairing of mother and child evokes affection and harmony, forming the basis for its core meanings: good, excellent, and favorable. Over time, it also developed a verbal sense, meaning to like or be fond of, and functions as an adverb to indicate high degree or intensity.
