About
The character "骡", traditionally written as "騾", is structured with the horse radical "马" or "馬" to categorize it as an equine animal, combined with the component "累" which functions phonetically to approximate its pronunciation. Etymologically, this character was devised to denote the mule, a hybrid offspring of a donkey and a horse, and its meaning has consistently referred to this animal in written Chinese.
