About

The character 回答 is formed by combining two meaningful components. The first part, 回, depicts a revolving or returning path, conveying the idea of something circling back. The second part, 答, originally associated with bamboo slips used for writing, carries the sense of a reply or response. Together, they conceptually create the idea of a "returning response", visually and semantically representing the act of answering.
