U+8FF4 "迴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
迴
U+8FF4 "迴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to revolve," "to circle," "to return," or "to go around," and it carries connotations of circuitous movement or avoidance. Often used in classical and modern texts, it appears in words like 迴避 (huíbì, meaning to evade or avoid) and 迴旋 (huíxuán, meaning to spiral or circle). This character is part of the Unified CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, and it is historically variant with the simpler form 回, though 迴 specifically emphasizes the sense of winding or returning along a path. In practical usage, it is common in traditional Chinese text, while simplified Chinese typically replaces it with the character 回, except in certain formal or literary contexts.
