About
The character 勇, representing courage or bravery, is structurally a phono-semantic compound combining the phonetic element 甬 with the semantic element 力, the latter meaning strength and directly informing the character's association with forceful action. Its early connotations centered on physical bravery and martial prowess, but the semantic range of 勇 later broadened to incorporate moral and intellectual forms of courage. The components 甬 and 力 have consistently constituted the character's form in its standard usage.
