U+56D9 "囙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
囙
U+56D9 "囙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is a variant or archaic form of the character 回 (hui2), which traditionally means "to return," "to reply," or "to revolve." It belongs to the "enclosure" radical 囗 (wéi), representing an enclosed space, and its structure consists of that outer box with an inner component resembling 回 or a simplified shape. In historical usage, 囙 appears in classical Chinese texts as an alternative graph for 回, though it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, where 回 is the dominant form. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that ancient or specialized documents can be digitally represented with fidelity to their original script.
