Cultural Note
π° ε£² reflects Japanβs commerce and market culture:
β’ Daily life: From small shops (ε£²εΊ) to major businesses, ε£² is central to trade.
β’ Figuratively, ε£²γγ also conveys popularity beyond commerce (e.g., books, music, products).
β’ Japanese society values trustworthy transactions, so the kanji evokes not just selling but proper exchange and fair business.
