Simplified Chinese

In simplified Chinese, the character 完 remains unchanged from its traditional form, composed of a roof (宀) over an origin (元), signifying completeness. The simplification did not alter the visual structure; it retained the outer roof and the inner component. The character is used in words like 完成 (wánchéng, to complete) and 完毕 (wánbì, to finish).

Complete. The character 完 is composed of 宀 (roof) as the semantic, indicating a covering or place, and 丸 (pill) as the phonetic, providing the sound. The original meaning is "complete, whole," as a roof shelters everything beneath it, making it whole. In oracle bone script, the character depicts a roof over a round object, symbolizing totality.
