How to Write 彪 (biāo) — Meaning “tiger-like; brave”

Picture a fierce tiger with three bold stripes on its side – those stripes are the 彡 radical. This image reminds you that 彪 means 'tiger-like' and 'brave'.

The left part (虍 + 几) is wider than the right 彡. Make sure the three strokes of 彡 are evenly spaced, parallel, and slightly slanted – a common mistake is making them too far apart or uneven.

彪 contains the tiger radical (虍), linking it to fierceness. 彦 has the 'culture' component (文) and means elegant, while 㣎 includes the 'spear' component (矛) – so they differ in both visual structure and meaning.

彪 appears mainly in nicknames like 阿彪 and in expressions such as 彪悍 (intrepid) and 彪形大汉 (a burly man). It conveys a sense of toughness and strength, often used to describe a person's physique or bold character.

Common words containing 彪 include: 阿彪 (ā biāo) — A-Biao (nickname); 彪悍 (biāo hàn) — intrepid; tough and fierce; 彪形大汉 (biāo xíng dà hàn) — a burly man; a giant of a man.
