What 勇 means
It means courage and bravery.
勇 appears in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing; older forms appear in inscriptions on bronze objects. Japanese dictionaries also record a “bold and decisive” sense, while Korean use emphasizes bravery. In North Korea’s KPS 10721-2000 character set, 勇 corresponds to KP1-383E; converting that text to Unicode and back can preserve the source character.
Use 勇 for ordinary writing; reserve 勇 for source-preserving KPS data.
Compatibility normalization turns 勇 into 勇, erasing the source-code distinction.
