How to Write 邃 (suì) — Meaning “deep / profound / remote”

Think of "sweet" (sounds like suì) and imagine walking (辶) into a deep, sweet cave that is very profound. The 㒸 part on the right looks like a little "eight" (八) on top of a "pig" (豕), so picture a pig walking into a deep hole.

Start with the radical 辶 (3 strokes: dot, horizontal fold, then the bottom curve). The right part 㒸 has 14 strokes: first write the top 八 (2 strokes), then the middle 豕 (7 strokes, pay attention to the left hook), and finally the bottom 辶-like walk? Actually no, the right part ends with a 之-like shape? Wait, 邃's right part is 㒸 which ends with 辶? No, the right part is 㒸 which itself contains 辶? That's wrong. Actually 邃's right part is 遂? To clarify: the right side is written as 遂 (which already has 辶), but that would be two 辶. I apologize for confusion. The correct writing: 邃 is 辶 + 㒸, and 㒸 is written as 八 on top, then 豕 below (without any extra 辶). Common mistake is to write the right side as 遂 or to forget the dot above 豕. The overall shape is slightly top-heavy.

邃 uses the radical 辶 and means "deep, profound." 遴 also uses 辶 but has the phonetic 粦 (lín) and means "to select or choose" – it appears in words like 遴选 (to select). 遵 also uses 辶 but with 尊 (zūn) as phonetic, meaning "to obey or follow" as in 遵守 (to obey). The visual difference is in the right-side components: 邃 has 㒸, 遴 has 粦, and 遵 has 尊.

邃 is a literary character mostly found in formal or poetic contexts, often in the word 深邃 (shēn suì) meaning "deep, profound" for physical depths like a deep forest or for abstract ideas like profound thoughts. It is not used in everyday conversation; instead, common words like 深 (shēn) or 深刻 (shēnkè) are used for "deep." You might encounter 邃 in old texts, classical poetry, or elegant descriptions.

Common words containing 邃 include: 深邃 (shēn suì) — deep; profound; remote; 幽邃 (yōu suì) — deep and secluded; 精邃 (jīng suì) — Profound; deep..
