About
迕 (wǔ) is a phono-semantic compound meaning opposition, disobedience, or moving contrary to a direction. It appears in classical texts to describe rebellion or conflict. Structurally, it combines the movement radical 辶 (chuò) on the left and bottom, which provides the semantic sense of motion, with the component 午 (wǔ) on the right, which serves as the phonetic element indicating pronunciation. Historically, the character consistently conveys the idea of going against norms or violating standards. It is used in compound words related to violation or stubborn resistance and exists independently without distinct traditional or simplified forms.
