Definitions

覆

  1. to cover
  2. to tip over
  3. to return (simplifies to 复)
  4. to reply (simplifies to 复)
  5. to overflow
  6. to capsize

Usage notes

覆 was always simplified to 复 in 1964-1986, but now it still simplifies to 复 only in the meaning of "to return/reply". So words like 答覆, 反覆 and 回覆 still simplify to 答复, 反复 and 回复 in Simplified Chinese respectively. But in other meanings, 覆 no longer simplifies to 复, e.g. 翻覆, 覆蓋, 顛覆, 傾覆, 覆轍.
