About
The character 弯, with its traditional form 彎, uses the bottom radical 弓 (bow) to establish its semantic foundation related to arched shapes and tension. In the traditional version, the complex top element 䜌 provides the phonetic component, while the simplified form replaces it with 亦, streamlining the structure while preserving the phonetic identity. It means a curve or bend, and as a verb, describes the action of bending something into an arc, like drawing a bowstring. Its usage covers physical descriptions from winding roads and meandering rivers to curved objects, and denotes the act of stooping or altering straightness.
