Explanation and Etymology - (日) hi

The Japanese word 日 (hi, nichi) means "day" or "sun". It is composed of two strokes, which represent the rays of the sun. The etymology of the word dates back to the ancient Chinese character ri, which also means "sun" or "day". The character was adopted by the Japanese during the Nara period (710-794), when Chinese culture had a great influence on Japan. Since then, 日 has been widely used in Japanese writing, both as a standalone ideogram and as a component of compound words.
