The kanji 巽 primarily signifies "southeast" or "the southeast wind." It represents the direction between east and south, as well as the gentle, favorable winds that often come from that direction. This character is associated with the idea of movement, gentle influence, and the subtle energy of nature. It can also imply a sense of compliance or submission, as the wind "yields" or blows in a particular direction.

The kanji 巽 is a pictograph. The upper part of the character, 巳, depicts a snake, which is part of the Chinese zodiac, representing the snake zodiac sign. The lower part, 卩, suggests kneeling, submission, or obedience. The combination suggests the direction (southeast), as well as the gentle movement and influence (like the snake) associated with the wind from that direction. The serpent in the 巳 component is also a symbol of fertility and growth, reflecting the benevolent influence of the southeast wind.
