Today’s #kanji is #優, which is made of its semantic element of #にんべん(亻) and phonetic element of 憂. 憂 has the meaning of “to worry” so I thought 優 is indicating a person (亻) with 憂 are the only one who can be 優, but apparently it has nothing to do with worrying. 憂 here means a mask so 優 is a person with a mask – an actor!
