Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SHRINE OR TEMPLE PROSTITUTION, RELIGIOUS CONVERSION, ADOPTING A NEW SET OF BELIEFS, I BELIEVE!, CONGREGATION OF BELIEVERS with RECIPROCATING LATERAL ROD MOTIONS, ROD STALK, INDICATES EXTENT, ONE SEGMENT and with PLUGGED FILLED ORIFICE OR CAVITY, WET AREA FOR IMPLANTING, WETLANDS, MOIST NIGHT SOIL, MUCK POOL SLURRY PIT, PUBLIC USE, MANY ORIFICES
…or: SHOW, DISPLAY, INDICATE, MEAT ALTAR FOR SACRIFICES, RELIGION with PUSSY, CUNT (AS A VULGAR REFERENCE), FULLNESS, COMPLETELY FILLED, ABUNDANCE, SOMETHING WITH WHICH TO FILL A ROLLED CLOTH FOR BINDING
…or: DIVA PUSSY
Left and right elements are a「display of fullness.」…or literally「religious pussy」of the type provided by the shaman in a brothel or available at her cave o' wonders. Depicts「completely filled orifice」that has been「blessed or provided by the gods」and so on. Meaning GOOD FORTUNE, STRIKING IT LUCKY. Right element itself in Chinese is a vulgar reference to the orifice located below the clitoral「bean」being「filled completely」and means「pussy, cunt」(we said it was vulgar…).
Perhaps the Chinese pronunciation (displayed here in Japanese katakana 'fuku') is a possible source of the English word「fuck, fucked.」
Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Japanese EDRDG: blessing, fortune, luck, wealth
Unihan extended: happiness

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
