Answer explanation

We haven't learned 動／どう、but it's a useful kanji that means "move".

For example, a 動画／どうが is literally a "moving picture"; thus, a video.

A 動物／どうぶつ is an "animal" (literally, moving thing), and a 動物園／どうぶつえん is a zoo (literally, "animal park", using the 園／えん from 公園／こうえん for "park").

運動／うんどう is "exercise", and an 運動場／うんどうじょう is "athletic field".

On its own, it's 動く／うごく and it means "to move".

You may have also seen it in the title of Howl's Moving Castle: ハウルの動く城／ハウルのうごくしろ.
