About
The character 嵛 is a phono-semantic compound: the semantic component 山 (mountain) places it in the domain of topography, and the phonetic component 俞 gives the sound. Historically and today, it functions almost exclusively as a proper noun for mountain names, not as a common word. The most notable instance is 昆嵛山 (Kunyu Mountain) in Shandong province.
