Character Story & Explanation
In autumn, you might see children in a Chinese park collecting small black seeds from a 桓 (huán) tree, the Chinese soapberry. Its fruits produce a natural lather when rubbed with water, making it an ancient soap. The character combines the radical 木 (tree) with 亘 (extending), symbolizing a tree with enduring usefulness.
