unusual, change, strange
変 centers on deviation from the ordinary: something unusual, strange, or a change from a previous state.
変 is the modern simplified form of 變. The older form combines 䜌 (a phonetic component) with 攵 (action), suggesting change or transformation. The modern form 変 is a simplification that retains the general idea but not the original components.
The top 亦 looks like a person with arms outstretched, and the bottom 夂 resembles legs walking. Picture someone changing their posture or stride, becoming unusual or strange.
For ヘン, imagine a hen that suddenly changes color and becomes strange: hen -> ヘン, and the unusual hen stands out.
