Fu2 (虎)

In celebration of Chinese New Year, this week’s character is 虎 (fu2), which means “tiger”.

The origins of this character are pretty simple – it’s a pictogram of a tiger! See all of the variations at the Uncle Hanzi website.

Each year of the Chinese calendar is represented by an animal. This year is the Year of the Tiger.
