I like it because it reminds me of the Japanese kanji 森 Mori (Forest).
Which is in and of itself brilliant because it’s the kanji 木 Ki (Tree) repeated three times and bunched together.
Technically, the words are adopted from Chinese (in this case both Traditional and Simplified are the same and have not diverged yet); but same meaning and reasoning, just different pronunciation.
I know that Kanji was originally derived from Chinese but I don’t know which Chinese characters are the same and which are different without doing research.
It is nice that in this case the symbols are the same all the way across the board. 5/5 design choice on both counts.
