How to Write 傕 (jué) — Meaning “used in ancient names”

Link the character to the historical figure Li Jue (李傕) from the Three Kingdoms period. The left side 亻 means 'person' and the right side sounds like 'jue', so you can imagine a person named Jue. This association makes the rare character easier to recall.

Write the left radical 亻 first (2 strokes), then the right side 隺 (10 strokes). Pay attention to the top part 冖: write the dot first, then the horizontal hook. Common mistakes include making the 隹 (bird) part too narrow or misaligning the multiple horizontal strokes.

Visually, 傕 has the right side 隺 (a cover over 隹), while 俯 has 府 (广 + 付) and 俱 has 具 (目 + 八). In meaning, 傕 is only used in ancient names, whereas 俯 means 'to bow' and 俱 means 'all' or 'together'. Their usage and frequency are very different.

傕 is extremely rare and appears almost exclusively in historical texts, such as the name 李傕 from the Three Kingdoms period. It has no modern common usage and is not part of the HSK vocabulary. Learners will only encounter it in classical Chinese or historical references.

Common words containing 傕 include: 李傕 (lǐ jué) — Li Jue (historical figure); 傕傕 (jué jué) — ancient descriptive term (rare); 姓傕 (xìng jué) — surnamed Jue.
