About
The character 祐 combines the "altar" radical 礻 on the left, which associates it with deities and rituals, with 右 (yòu) on the right, which primarily provides the sound and also carries a historical sense of assistance. Together, they convey the meaning of divine protection or heavenly blessing, often used to describe grace bestowed by gods or ancestors during times of hardship.
