The Chinese characters 知 meaning is know.

The radical: 矢 (arrow) represents swiftness. Combined with 口 (mouth), it means knowledge, possessed by one who can give his word or opinion with the precision and speed of an arrow. Knowledge is having a mouth that is as sharp and far-reaching as an arrow. Unfortunately, according to the proverb, “Those who know much talk little; those who know little talk much.” (知者不言，言者不知)
