The Chinese character 兔 (tù) for "rabbit" is a pictograph that depicts a rabbit sitting on its hind legs with its ears perked up. The character is composed of two parts: the radical 豸 (zhì), which means "animal", and the phonetic component 歹 (dǎi), which is pronounced similarly to the word "rabbit". The character 兔 has been used in Chinese writing for over 3,000 years and has remained largely unchanged in its form and meaning. It is also used in Japanese and Korean, where it is pronounced "usagi" and "to", respectively.
