About
The character 遹 is a phono-semantic compound, combining the movement radical 辶 (which wraps the left and bottom) to indicate an action of travel or progression, with the phonetic component 矞 (yù) in the upper right to provide its pronunciation. In classical Chinese literature, it originally meant to follow, comply with, or proceed according to rules or precedents. It also frequently served as a grammatical particle in ancient texts and poetry, primarily to adjust rhythm or introduce statements without substantial independent meaning.
