反
U+53CD "反" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with the core meaning of "reverse," "opposite," or "to turn against," and it is widely used in both classical and modern written Chinese. Its graphical composition originates from a depiction of a hand or claw pressing against a cliff, suggesting the concept of overturning or opposing something, and it serves as a common radical and semantic component in over a hundred other characters. Beyond its literal sense, this ideograph appears in essential vocabulary such as "反对" meaning to oppose and "反复" meaning to repeat or reverse, and it is also significant in philosophical contexts, notably representing the principle of reversal in Taoist thought.
