报
警

About

The word 报警 is formed by combining two independent characters, each carrying its own core meaning, to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 报 (bào), means "to report" or "to announce". The second, 警 (jǐng), signifies "police" or "alert". They are placed together in sequence to visually and conceptually depict the action of reporting (报) to the police (警) or raising an alert, forming a single idea for the act of calling for help in an emergency.
