3 kanjis who wants to learn some Japanese/Chinese !!
始 。hajime = begin/start. A woman [女] is often considered auspicious in many occassions hence a woman’s voice is the start of many activities. See that square is mouth [口] and the other part is perhaps the nose which defines a person or woman’s voice. To reduce the confusion there is also the 口.
Hence in akira 智 [which as you see heaven+mouth+energy/sun hence higher consciousness] you have a “Budha” and any child of Budha is Budha. We are all Budha. What a brilliant thinking man made 1500 years ago, but it essentially stole from a religion now called Hinduism and they in turn stole it from the Vedic nomads and the Vedic nomads stole it from a minority who achieved “intellectual understanding of nature’s elements” hence Science. Science is often manipulated into religion and then forgotten in due time.
I found an interesting kanji: 語, go.
It means words/language/spoken etc
語 ＝口＋（音）＋口＋五
Evidently 語; 言口五,
Is 言; 口音?
In any case;
go = mouth + voice + mouth + go. (or say “go” = language/words like “go” = 5)
It means voice produced by humans hence language or words etc but its said like Japanese 5 which is again go. So the same kanji tells you what it means and how its said by using another widely used kanji such as go = 5 [ 五 ] ..
This is merely a coincidence that go = language and go = 5, and is denoted like 語.

A mouth [口] is also an enclosure. eg a country is to its people an enclosure. country [国]. You see that this encloses people/life: [生]. Also the [生] is placed upside down as it does not matter.

Tae Moriyama [author of Kanji Connections] gives the explanation of bi 美 = beauty. The way its cut in modern times it is indeed Tae’s explanation which looks factual. Its Big大+sheep羊. To a farmer’s eye the sheep is beautiful when its bigger.
