I was watching a Japanese YouTube video and the ending screen that says the
usual ご視聴ありがとうございます followed by talking about what the next video was going to
be, etc... I understand the context of this sentence, except for that darn
verb with the scribble character. My guess is that it's some kind of ichidan
verb, based on the よう part. For the life of me I cannot identify the kanji
used here though. Help?

kanji writing-identification
What on Earth is this kanji character?
# [纏](http://tangorin.com/kanji/%E7%BA%8F)

And the caption says:

> 一回に纏めようと思ったんですが無理でした。

...and likely to be typeset in [AR
POP4B](http://designpocket.jp/dl_font_category/detail.aspx?bid=3108).

answer
The kanji and Hiragana part you are asking - 纏め is pronounced "matome," and
means to "put together." 纏め is a noun, and its verb form is 纏める.The whole
sentence - 一回に纏めようと思ったんですが、無理でした means "I wished to put them (everything)
together at once, but I couldn't. 纏 is also known as a decorated pole sign of
firefighters' identifying their team name in Edo era. I don't think the
character, 纏 is included in 当用漢字 the list of regular use kanji, and many are
difficult for today's young people to read. So it's no wonder for non-native
Japanese have difficulty in reading.
