Why does 爱好 look like this?
'爱' (ài) consists of a 'claws' radical at the top, a 'roof' representing a home, and a 'heart' (心) at its core, showing affection held deep inside. '好' (hào) combines 'woman' (女) and 'child' (子), representing the most natural bond of liking or loving something. Together, they mean to 'love' and 'be fond of'.
