The word 早安 is formed through a direct and elegant conceptual combination: the first character 早 depicts the sun (日) rising above the horizon (a line represented in its ancient form), meaning "early" or "morning", and it sets the temporal scene. The second character 安, showing a woman (女) under a roof (宀), conveys "peace" or "safety". Together, they sequentially present an image of the morning and then impose upon it the sentiment of peace, creating a complete idea, a wish for a peaceful morning, as if one first acknowledges the dawn and then bestows a quiet blessing upon it.
