<p>The book "A First Course in Literature" from Shaddick uses this character:
<img src="https://i.sstatic.net/BLbum.png" alt="yu2"></p>

<p>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?</p>

Historically they were variants of the same character. Now 逾 prevails.

Certainly not a mistake - just a simple variant:

# 《中华字海》页:1420:

![《中华字海》页:1420](https://i.sstatic.net/GkYKD.png)

# 字海:

![zisea](https://i.sstatic.net/te8q5.png)

(You notice how it says 非unicode字 right? So basically that means it's 打不出来的 or cannot be typed)
