What character is this? (yu2) The book "A First Course in Literature" from Shaddick uses this character:


In the vocabulary section it is explained as "TV to cross; to exceed". But I can't seem to find this character anywhere else (e.g. pinyin input). The closest matches are 逾 and 踰, the latter is also what we use at our university course instead. However, does anyone know anything about the original? Or is it just a mistake Shaddick made?
Yes, it is 踰 (yú): exceed, transgress, cross over. It is a variant of 逾.

Characters are sometimes rendered differently. In this case, the phonetic is 俞 (yú), meaning "boat", and the bottom part is written similar to seal script style.

Originally, the 月 and 刂 in 俞 were 舟 (zhōu, boat) and 巛 (chuān, water), and the seal character is a transition in progress. Another evolutionary bastard is  (containing 舟 and 刂), with the same meaning.
