Definition
雍 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'harmonious' or 'graceful'. It rarely appears alone in modern Chinese — you'll mostly encounter it in classical or literary compounds like 雍容 ('graceful and poised') or 雍和 ('harmonious'). As a bound form, it must attach to another character to form a word; you cannot use it as a standalone adjective.
