U+8F49 "轉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8F49 "轉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that fundamentally means "to turn," "to change," "to transfer," or "to revolve," serving as a key semantic component in many East Asian written languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is composed of the radical "車" (vehicle or cart) on the left side, indicating its original association with the turning motion of a wheel, and the phonetic component "專" (zhuan) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In modern usage, this character appears in a wide range of contexts, from technical terms like "rotation" to everyday phrases such as "轉變" (transformation) or "轉告" (to pass on a message). As a standardized CJK character, it is encoded in both Traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji sets, though Simplified Chinese uses the alternative form "转" (U+8F6C) for the same meaning, reflecting the orthographic divergence between writing systems.
