S-shaped bent
Note from asker:
I thought of using 'S-shaped' before but I guess I have doubt because the '己' seems to go from west to east while 'S' goes from east to west. In this case, it should be from west to east, so...Am I over thinking? Thanks.
Peer comment(s):

agree Wenjer Leuschel (X) : The Yellow River makes an S bend near 耶瑙尔市. (Somthing like La Seine makes around Paris?)

agree Jason Ma : Reverse-S-Shaped. MISS Wilman, if you write the letter S on the paper and look at it from the reverse side of the paper you'l find a Chinese charater 已,apparently, written by a foreigner.
