兑(duì)
Origin:
“兑”是“悦”的本字,字形的下半是一个人,上半突出了他的嘴和嘴角的笑纹。现在另有“悦”字表示喜悦,“兑”的意思为换取。
“兑” is the original version of the character “悦.” The lower part is a person and the upper part is an exaggeration of a laughing mouth. Today, the character “悦” expresses joyfulness, while the meaning of “兑” is “to exchange.”

exchange; convert; add (water, etc.)
