Tips

usage
旖 is a bound character used only in 旖旎 ('soft and beautiful, enchanting'), usually for scenery as in 风光旖旎 ('the scenery is gorgeous').

Components

radical
方 fāng
square; direction (here: flag pole)
方 plus the strokes above it form 㫃, the 'fluttering banner' element and index radical. It pictures a flag streaming in the wind - the source of the 'softly waving, graceful' image.
phonetic
奇 qí
strange; wonderful
奇 sits on the right and supplies the sound, drifting far from qí to yǐ. It carries no meaning in this word.
