U+65CB "旋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

旋

U+65CB "旋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to revolve," "to spin," or "to turn around," and it carries extended meanings such as "to return," "to come back," or "immediately" in certain contexts. This character is composed of two radicals: the left side "方" (square or direction) combined with a component representing a flag or banner, and the right side "疋" (a unit of cloth or foot), with the overall structure symbolizing the motion of a flag turning in the wind or the cyclical movement of spinning. In modern usage, "旋" appears in words like "旋转" (rotation), "旋律" (melody, literally "turning sequence"), and "凯旋" (triumphant return), reflecting its core connotation of circular or repeated motion. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is shared across multiple East Asian writing systems, where it retains similar meanings related to rotation, wind, or immediate action.
