Are there any characters in Chinese that have the same radicals in their formation, but the position of those radicals result in different meanings.
e.g. A character made up of two radicals, AB, and another BA, that is also a valid character.
Traditional or Simplified is fine.
Same meaning:
崕 = 崖 (ㄧㄚˊ / yá) = cliff; precipice
峰 = 峯 (ㄈㄥ / fēng) = peak; summit
毗 = 毘 (ㄆㄧˊ / pí) = to adjoin; to border on
群 = 羣 (ㄑㄩㄣˊ / qún) = group; crowd
飃 = 飄 (ㄆㄧㄠ / piāo) = to float
鄰 = 隣 (ㄌㄧㄣˊ / lín) = neighbor; adjacent
Different meanings:
早 (ㄗㄠˇ / zǎo) = early; morning
旪 (ㄒㄧㄝˊ / xié) = 協 = agreement
吟 (ㄧㄣˊ / yín) = to chant; to recite
含 (ㄏㄢˊ / hán) = to contain; to keep in mouth
旱 (ㄏㄢˋ / hàn) = drought; dry
旰 (ㄍㄢˋ / gàn) = 傍晚 = sunset; dusk
岳 (ㄩㄝˋ/ yuè) = mountain; peak
岴 (ㄑㄩ/ qū) = 嶇 = rugged; rough
星 (ㄒㄧㄥ / xīng) = star
甠 (ㄑㄧㄥˊ / qíng) = 晴 = clear (weather)
啻 (ㄔˋ / chì) = only
啼 (ㄊㄧˊ / tí) = cry; crow
There are many many others.
if you're looking for "difference positions of radicals / components" with the same meaning, here're some more:
慚 (u+615a), 慙 (u+6159)
幕 (u+5e55), 幙 (u+5e59)
炮 (u+70ae), 炰 (u+70b0)
in modern usage, the first character would be considered as "the correct" one, while the second character is variant (異體字).
but, in literatures of yore, it's the opposite. that, 慙, 幙 & 炰 are used more.
edited, 4 more samples:
稿 (u+7a3f), 稾 (u+7a3e)
慼 (u+617c), 慽 (u+617d)
屻 (u+5c7b), 岃 (u+5c83)
have fun :)
If you can accept A = B:
林
if A != B:
杏 呆
部 陪
