How to Write 逭 (huàn) — Meaning “to escape”

Imagine you are walking (辶) away from a huge (奐) problem — the big shape inside reminds you of something large you want to escape. Another trick: think of "run away and change place" because 奐 can mean "change" in some contexts.

The right part 奐 has many strokes — be careful to write it completely before adding the 辶 radical. A common mistake is making the 辶 too small; the bottom horizontal stroke should extend below the right part to balance the character.

逭 means to escape (active movement), while 迷 means to be lost or confused (passive state). 迷 has the radical 辶 with 米 (rice) inside, looking like grains scattered. 迶 is very rare and often used interchangeably with 逭 in some classical texts, but in modern Chinese 逭 is the standard literary form.

逭 is a literary character, not used in everyday speech. You will find it in formal writing, such as in the phrase 逭暑 (escape summer heat) in classical poetry or 逭责 (evade responsibility) in legal or critical contexts. It is not part of the HSK vocabulary.

Common words containing 逭 include: 逃逭 (táo huàn) — to escape; to evade (literary); 逭暑 (huàn shǔ) — to escape the summer heat; 逭责 (huàn zé) — to evade responsibility.
