Simplified form of 馬. Pictograph of a horse.
About
The traditional character 馬 originally depicted a horse, with the upper horizontal strokes representing the mane and the four dots at the bottom suggesting its legs. The simplified form 马 streamlines the mane into a single line and reduces the four legs to one horizontal stroke. Its core meaning is "horse", which extends into compounds related to equestrian activities, cavalry, and transportation. It also functions as a semantic radical in many characters associated with horses, riding, driving, or specific equine breeds.
