U+7FFB "翻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7FFB "翻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to turn over," "to translate," or "to flip," and it is commonly used in both modern and classical Chinese writing. Structurally, it combines the radical 羽 (meaning "feather" or "wing") with the phonetic component 番, reflecting its original association with the motion of birds or wings turning over. In everyday usage, "翻" appears in words such as 翻译 (fānyì, meaning translation) and 翻书 (fānshū, meaning to flip through a book), and it also carries extended senses like to reverse a decision or to search thoroughly. This character is integral to Chinese language and culture, illustrating the nuanced way that ideographs blend visual symbolism with phonetic cues.
