于(於) yú be located at, in, on, to - Mandarin Chinese

Definition

Radical of the simplified form is 二 èr “two”. Radical of the traditional form is 方 fāng “place”. The other components of the traditional form are 人 rén and 冫 bīng “ice.” Both simplified 于 and traditional 於 are phonetics, e.g., in the character 宇, which is used in the word 宇宙 yŭzhòu “universe”; and in the character 淤, which is used in the word 淤泥 yūní “silt.” Distinguish simplified 于 from simplified 干 gān and 千 qiān.

Examples

• 于 Yú Yu (also Woo, a Korean surname) [SN] (Note that the surname Yu is written as 于 in both simplified and traditional script.)
• 关于 (關於) guānyú about, concerning [CV]
