About
靰 is a phono-semantic compound: the leather radical 革 on the left links it to hides and leather goods, and the component 兀 on the right supplies the pronunciation. It is used almost exclusively in the compound 靰鞡 (wùla), a traditional thick leather shoe historically worn in the cold northeastern regions of China. Beyond this specific term, the character has no significant independent range of meanings.
