The character "安" (ān) is a Chinese character that means "peace" or "safety." It is commonly used in various contexts, such as in the word "安静" (ānjìng), which means "quiet." The character is composed of the radical "宀" (mián), representing a roof, and "女" (nǚ), meaning "woman." This combination suggests a sense of security and comfort found at home. In addition to its meaning in everyday language, "安" is also used in names and titles. For example, "安倍晋三" (Ānbèi Jìn sān) refers to Shinzo Abe, a former Prime Minister of Japan. The character is often associated with tranquility and stability in both personal and societal contexts.
