[No.0011 Kanji] Victory

This kanji stands for a victory, and is pronounced "しょう shou" by itself. As a verb, we say "勝つ　かつ katsu" meaning "to win".

Mr.Obama won the election as you know. That's why I selected this kanji today. It has its etymology, but it is a little bit difficult to explain. So remember at least the symbol, and use it like "Mr. Obama won!" meaning  "オバマ氏が勝った！(obama-shi ga katta!)"
