Character Story & Explanation
寙 (yǔ) is a rare Chinese character meaning 'bad' or 'inferior'. It appears in classical texts but is hardly used in modern Chinese. Its structure combines 穴 (cave) and 瓜 (melon), possibly suggesting something rotten or spoiled inside. This character serves more as a literary relic than a practical word.
