What 訏 means
It points to size or speech.
On 杕氏壺, an inscribed bronze vessel, 訏 describes capacity as neither too great nor too small. 言 signals speech; 于 hints at sound.
Classical texts also use it for a shout and, in Qi and Chu, for “trust”; both were ancient Chinese states.
Literary and archaic; in casual writing it reads as obscure or deliberately old-fashioned.
