歪 — 不 (not) + 正 (upright)
歪 is a compound ideograph combining 不 'not' on top and 正 'upright/straight' below, literally 'not straight.' It is a relatively late character formed in vernacular Chinese to mean crooked, askew, or slanted. The meaning is transparent from its parts rather than derived from a phonetic component.
