U+6238 "戸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
戸
U+6238 "戸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "door" or "household" and is historically derived from a pictograph representing a single-leaf door or gate. In modern East Asian languages, it functions as a radical and component in compound characters, often appearing in words related to doors, families, or counting houses, such as in the Japanese term "戸籍" (koseki) meaning family register. While it is a common variant in Japanese and Korean contexts, its usage in Simplified Chinese is largely supplanted by the similar but distinct character "户" (U+6237), though "戸" remains a recognized traditional form in certain calligraphic and historical texts.
