爱国

Why does 爱国 look like this?

'爱' (Love) + '国' (Country/Nation). '爱' features a 'heart' (心) at its core in its traditional form, and '国' shows a 'jade' (玉) inside a 'border' (囗), representing the precious things protected within a country's boundaries. Together, they signify 'loving one's country'.
