Radical: 田 (field), shared by 46 characters on this site.
How to remember 畧
畧 stacks 田 (tián, field) on top of 各 (gè, each). Picture walking past each field and only sketching a rough outline of it, which gives the sense of roughly or outline.
畧 is a variant form of 略 (lüè), and modern standard Chinese almost always uses 略 instead. You may see 畧 in older texts, calligraphy, or names. The same meanings apply, as in 畧有不同 (lüè yǒu bù tóng), slightly different.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes copy 畧 into modern writing, but everyday texts and input methods expect 略, with 田 on the left and 各 on the right. Also keep the pinyin as lüè with the ü and fourth tone, not luè or lüě.
