About
The character 雄 originally meant "male bird", a meaning evident in its structure. The right side features the radical 隹, which denotes a short-tailed bird and provides the character's semantic category. The left side contains the component 厷, which functions as a phonetic element indicating pronunciation. From its specific origin meaning "male bird", the sense broadened to refer generally to male animals, and later extended to describe masculine qualities like strength and heroism. Today, it commonly signifies a hero or a person of outstanding ability and imposing power.
