About
The character 户 is a pictograph originally depicting a single-leaf door, in contrast to 门, which represents a double-leaf gate. As such doors typically led to individual rooms or smaller dwellings, the character came to metonymically refer to the families or individuals residing behind them. Its meaning thus broadened from the physical door to encompass households, and it is now used as a measure word for families and accounts, forming the basis for demographic concepts related to population registration and residence.
