\u732a means wild boar in Japanese while \u8c6c means pig in Chinese. Pig is one of the Chinese zodiac animals and there is a year of the pig in many countries. However, there were no pigs in Japan when the Chinese zodiac\u00a0was introduced from China to Japan. Therefore, it was translated as a wild boar that resembles a pig.<\/p>\n
