U+8EE2 "転" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
転
U+8EE2 "転" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji commonly used in modern Japanese, where it represents the concept of rotation, change, or transfer, stemming from its primary meaning of "to turn" or "to revolve." Its structure combines the radical for "vehicle" or "cart" (車) with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological roots in classical Chinese, where the character originally referred to the turning of a wheel. In Japanese, it appears frequently in words like 転ぶ (korobu, to fall or tumble), 転換 (tenkan, conversion or shift), and 転送 (tensō, transfer or forwarding), making it a versatile element in both everyday vocabulary and technical contexts.
