U+6B78 "歸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
歸
U+6B78 "歸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that signifies the concept of returning, going back, or reverting to a place, state, or origin. It is commonly used in classical and modern East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, often appearing in words related to homecoming, restoration, or attribution, such as “回歸” meaning to return or “歸屬” meaning belonging. Its structure combines the radical for “stop” or “step” with components suggesting movement and completion, reflecting its core meaning of coming full circle. In historical texts, it carries philosophical weight, as seen in Daoist and Confucian writings where it denotes a return to natural order or one’s proper role.
