The Chinese character 克 (kè) is composed of two parts: the radical 戈 (gē), which represents a weapon, and the phonetic component 力 (lì), which represents strength. The original meaning of 克 was "to overcome" or "to conquer", and it was often used in military contexts. Over time, the meaning of 克 expanded to include other forms of overcoming, such as overcoming difficulties or challenges.The character 克 is also used in a number of other contexts. For example, it is used in the names of units of measurement, such as the kilogram (千克) and the calorie (卡路里). It is also used in the names of some countries, such as Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) and Kyrgyzstan (吉尔吉斯斯坦).The character 克 is a versatile character with a rich history.
