According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%8F#Japanese)
this symbol 亏 is a Japanese kanji.

[Jisho](http://jisho.org/search/%E4%BA%8F) returns no results. Does anyone
know what it means?

What does this kanji 亏 mean?
I don't think it's a Japanese kanji. It's a Chinese character.

号 may be a Japanese kanji you were looking for. Or it might be a confusion
with 云う（いう）（iu) .

Are you sure that it was really 亏 that you saw in Wikipedia? :)

answer
It is [Chinese](http://cjjc.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BA%8F). 亏 is pronounced kuī
(first tone), and it is a simplification of 虧 which I think you can actually
also find in Japanese dictionaries and means to lower/to decrease or to lack
(like 欠{か}ける). It also means "to wane" (speaking of the moon). Look
[here](http://kanji.jitenon.jp/kanjil/5631.html) for more.

A sample sentence from the first link:

> 我亏了二百元 ＝ 私は200元損をした = I lost 200 yuan (Chinese currency).

Still I'm interested in seeing the wiki page stating it's Japanese, it might
be a very uncommon if ever used and one should check a more comprehensive
dictionary like the 大漢和辞典.
