The Chinese word "标志" (biaozhi) is composed of two characters: "表" (biao) and "志" (zhi). The character "表" originally meant "to express" or "to represent", and it is often used in words related to symbols or signs. The character "志" originally meant "to record" or "to mark", and it is often used in words related to goals or aspirations. When combined, the two characters "标志" form a word that means "symbol", "mark", or "sign". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to refer to a traffic sign, a company logo, or a national flag.
