Tips

history
廻 is an old written variant of 回 / 迴 (to turn back, to circle) and is not used independently in modern Chinese. It wraps the phonetic 回 inside the long-stride radical 廴, parallel to how 迴 uses the walk radical 辶.
register
Archaic spelling; seen in old texts, Buddhist terms like 輪廻 (reincarnation), and etymology notes, not in modern writing.

Components

radical
廴 yǐn
long stride; to extend
The long-stride radical 廴 wraps the lower left and is written last, adding the sense of striding or moving in a circling path.
phonetic
回 huí
to return; to turn
Supplies both the sound and, since 回 itself means 'to return / circle', the core meaning. This variant just adds a motion radical around it.
