On-Yomi: シュウ — Kun-Yomi: とら.われる
Koohii stories:
1) [Immacolata] 2-2-2006(165): A person pent in is obviously captured. Imagine a man put inside a wooden box, his evil capturers waiting for ransom money.
2) [adhmm] 13-5-2008(122): Mr. T can't be captured. This kanji is lying.
3) [smithsonian] 6-2-2007(27): They've finally pent in Mr. T. But don't worry; no one can keep T captured, foo!
4) [crystalcastlecreature] 14-10-2009(23): There is a butt captured within this picture. Lol!
5) [miyadamuraman] 25-8-2011(15): This is a very easy kanji. A PERSON who is PENT IN is obviously captured. DO NOT USE MR. T! Why people are using this as a primitive element is beyond me. MR. T is the variant of person when it appears on the left side of a kanji. Do not confuse your PERSON and MR. T or you'll never know which one to use when you have a MR. T story. Keep each version of a primitive distinct in your naming. (Think of the difference between using "heart" and "valentine").
