About this kanji

Another important compound is 手術 (しゅじゅつ), which means surgery, and 戦術 (せんじゅつ), meaning tactics. This kanji emphasizes the importance of skills and methods in various fields, from academics to healthcare. When learning about it, remember that while it denotes technique, it can also imply a specific trick or clever means to achieve something.
