How it's used
Refers specifically to the center or the bullseye of an archery target. While it is the precise term for the target itself, it is rarely encountered in daily conversation outside of formal sports contexts or traditional literature. Most people will simply use 靶 or 箭靶 to refer to a target in casual speech.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 準, which means accurate or precise. While they share a similar visual component, 埻 is a noun for the object, whereas 準 is an adjective describing the quality of the shot.
