state in Henan province
邘 is a rare kanji referring to an ancient state in what is now Henan province. Its meaning is limited to this historical place name and has no broader conceptual center.
邘 combines the village radical ⻏ with 于, which likely served as a phonetic component for the ancient state name. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The left side 于 looks like a stylized map marker, and the right side ⻏ is a village. Picture an ancient village marked on a map as the state of 邘 in Henan.
For ウ, imagine the ancient state's name echoing through time as a long 'oo' sound: oo -> ウ, like the wind over the old village ruins.
