What 惲 means
In names, 惲 is surname Yun; old texts give other senses. The Han-era 說文解字 breaks it as 从心、軍聲, with 心 for meaning and 軍 for sound, and glosses it 重厚, “weighty, substantial”; the later 玉篇 adds “plan,” “deliberate,” and “consult.”
The Han-era dictionary tradition is the firm ground here. A Han-era historical record writes the Chu king's name as 熊惲, while the 左傳 writes 頵 for that same name. For modern script, use 恽 as the simplified form of 惲.
How do you type 惲?
Use Pinyin yùn in a Traditional Chinese input source. Type yun or yùn, then pick 惲 from the candidate list; simplified mode may offer 恽 instead. Apple and Microsoft document this candidate-pick workflow as of 2026-09-08.
Copy it from the palette above when typing is awkward. If its shape shifts a little between fonts, that is regional CJK styling, not a different character; match the surrounding traditional or simplified text.
Standalone lexical use is classical; in a name, 惲 functions as the surname Yun.
In a name, keep 惲 as Yun; translating it as “thick” is misleading.
