U+98DC "飜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+98DC "飜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to turn over," "to flip," or "to reverse," and it is often used in classical and literary contexts as a variant or alternative form of the more common character 翻. In Japanese, it is also part of the Kanji set, where it carries similar meanings of overturning or translating, and it appears in compounds like 翻弄 (honrō, meaning "to toy with" or "to toss about"). This character is composed of the radical 飛 (fei, meaning "to fly") on top and 番 (ban, meaning "a turn" or "a number") below, visually suggesting the action of flipping or turning something around. Though less common in modern simplified Chinese, where 翻 is preferred, 飜 remains an important glyph for historical texts, calligraphy, and in languages like Japanese and Korean that still use traditional characters.
