Definition
彷 (fǎng) is a bound character that appears in the compounds 彷徨 (páng huáng, 'to feel uncertain/hesitate') and 彷徉 (páng yáng, 'to roam/wander'). Note that in these compounds the character is actually pronounced páng, not fǎng, making this row's pinyin potentially erroneous. 彷 is also a variant of 仿 (fǎng, 'to imitate'). As a standalone character it is not used; learners should memorize the full compound words.
