– Ao1 – Concave

Yes, really! means concave! And that’s not all. Guess how you write convex?

– Tu1 – Convex (although I have to point out that technically, the character is not convex)

I swear I’m not making this up! I only looked this up because our new house has a 凹洞 – Ao1 Dong4 – Concave Hole — Pit in the backyard.

Jenny also tells me that you can describe a bumpy road as 凹凸不平 – Ao1 Tu1 Bu4 Ping2 – Concave Convex Not Flat!
