The word yuan (written as 元 (informally) or 圓 (formally)) in Chinese literally means round, after the shape of the coins. The Korean[한국어] and Japanese[日本語] currency units, won[원] and yen[円] respectively, are cognates of the yuan and have the same Chinese character[漢字，汉字] (korean: 한자[hanja]/japanese: かんじ[kanji]) representation, but in different forms (respectively, 원/圓[한국어] and 円/圓[日本語]), also meaning round in Korean[한국어] and Japanese[日本語].
