Yù character (𢺴)

11957/42720

𢺴 (yù) describes something twisted or contrary. Its old dictionary gloss has a wrinkle: 捥 has a separate “wrist” reading that does not carry over.

Text symbol

What 𢺴 means

It describes something twisted or contrary.

In Mandarin pinyin, this character is read yù; 拗戾 describes something twisted or stubbornly contrary. The earliest named dictionary record is in Jiyun, a rhyme book compiled in 1039 for checking pronunciation and rhyme in verse. The Song court commissioned it to improve its uneven predecessor, the rhyme dictionary Guangyun.

Why does 𢺴 show as a box?

A font may not include this glyph.

A Taiwan Hakka Affairs Council font table from 2025 lists it as supported in New MingLiU but missing from Microsoft JhengHei, Google Source Han Sans, and Apple PingFang. A missing glyph is a font issue; the encoded text remains 𢺴.

Why does 𢺴 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
