U+56EC "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+56EC "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an alternative form of the Chinese character meaning "to return" or "to reply," often used as a variant of the more common character "回" (huí) but distinguished by its enclosed inner structure resembling a square or spiral pattern. Historically found in classical Chinese texts and calligraphy, this glyph features a repeated internal component that emphasizes circular movement or repetition, and it is encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block to represent a shared heritage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. Its usage is rare in modern standard Chinese but may appear in specialized typography, historical documents, or as a stylistic variant in East Asian scripts.
