About
The character "弯", meaning to bend or curve, originates from the traditional form "彎", which integrates the semantic component "弓" representing a bow, "糸" indicating silk, and "䜌" serving as a phonetic element, collectively evoking the image of bending a bow or the tension of a bowstring. Its semantic range expanded from this specific context to encompass any form of curvature or the action of bending in a general sense. The modern incarnation "弯" retains the foundational "弓" but substitutes the earlier phonetic part with "亦", a structural alteration that condenses the character's form without altering its core conceptual association with curvature.
