(grade 5 “Kyōiku” kanji)

1. acquiesce

• Go-on: じょう (jō)^{←じよう (zyou, historical)}
• Kan-on: しょう (shō, Jōyō)^{←しよう (syou, historical)}
• Kun: うけたまわる (uketamawaru, 承る, Jōyō)^{←うけたまはる (uketamafaru, historical)}; うけたまわり (uketamawari, 承)^{←うけたまはり (uketamafari, historical)}; うけたまわり (uketamawari, 承り)^{←うけたまはり (uketamafari, historical)}; うける (ukeru, 承ける); ささげる (sasageru, 承げる); とどめる (todomeru, 承める); たすける (tasukeru, 承ける); こらす (korasu, 承らす); ついで (tsuide, 承で); すくう (sukuu, 承う)^{←すくふ (sukufu, historical)}
• Nanori: こと (koto); すけ (suke); つぎ (tsugi); つぐ (tsugu); よし (yoshi)

This may be the only kanji with a six-mora reading, of uketamawari. However, this reading is more often spelled with the final -ri spelled in kana (as 承り) to clarify and disambiguate the reading of the single kanji.

This kanji is also one of very few kanji with five-mora readings, and the only verb, namely 承る (uketamawaru, with the kanji comprising the five-mora uketamawa- part). Other kanji with five-mora readings are the nouns 志 (kokorozashi), 詔 / 勅 (mikotonori), and 宰 / 司 (mikotomochi). No kanji have a reading of more than six morae.
