Etymology
Unorthodox variant simplified from 歸 found in various moveable type copies of classical novels. First attested in 《宋元以來俗字譜》, a variant forms dictionary compiled in 1930 that records unorthodox forms (俗字 (súzì)) that have existed since the Song dynasty. Originally part of the 324 simplified characters introduced by the Republic of China (Kuomintang government) in 1935 but was later retracted in 1936. Eventually adopted as an official simplified character by the People's Republic of China in the 1956 Chinese Character Simplification Scheme.
