The Chinese characters 歪 meaning is crooked.

歪 is an ideogram composed of two characters: 不 (not) and 正 (upright). It means: not straight, i.e., crooked. 正 itself indicates stopping (止) at a line or limit (一), without going astray, hence upright. Although imperfect, we do well to heed the proverbial counsel: “Stand upright, and don’t worry if your shadow is crooked.”
