About
The character "违" derives from its traditional form "違", which combines the walking radical "辶" with the component "韋", the latter providing phonetic guidance and contributing semantic notions of defiance or encirclement. In the simplified character, "韦" replaces "韋" as a streamlined phonetic element. The character's fundamental concept has consistently involved opposition or deviation, with early meanings including to turn away from or to be at odds with, later narrowing to more specific senses of disobeying, transgressing, or acting contrary to established norms.
