How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical side of a sheet or a distinct section within a publication. It is frequently used when discussing newspapers, where each thematic section like sports or finance is referred to as a specific版. Unlike the general term頁, which focuses on the page number,版 emphasizes the layout or the content block.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for digital screens or web pages, where頁 is the standard term. Learners often confuse it with頁, but remember that版 implies a printed or structured layout.
