湾

U+6E7E "湾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "bay" or "gulf," referring to a body of water partly enclosed by land, such as a harbor or inlet. It is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left and the phonetic component "弯" (wān, meaning curved) on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic origins in Chinese writing. This character is commonly used in place names across East Asia, including famous locations like Taiwan (臺灣, with 湾 in the simplified form) and the Persian Gulf (波斯湾). In Japanese, it is used as a kanji with similar meanings, appearing in terms like "湾岸" (wangan, meaning bay coast).
