U+56D8 "囘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
囘
U+56D8 "囘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a variant form of the more common character "回" (huí), which carries meanings such as "to return," "to circle," or "a time" as in an instance of an action. This specific variant, with its distinctive closed enclosure and internal hook-like stroke, is historically used in certain classical texts and calligraphy styles, though it is far less prevalent in modern standard written Chinese. Its presence in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars and digital archivists can accurately represent historical documents and diverse typographic traditions without loss of fidelity.
