Character Story & Explanation
嵎 (yú) denotes a mountain range or remote mountainous area. It appears in classical texts like the Book of Documents referring to inaccessible regions. Unlike Western 'mountain range' (e.g., Alps), 嵎 emphasizes isolation and ruggedness, often with cultural connotations of seclusion or barbarian lands beyond civilization.
