guī

Left: knife刂, right: hand

/彐; simplified from 帰. Originally showed a man with a knife returning home (where the broom 帚 is)

When the man with the knife is at his wife 妇 (today: hand without broom) he has returned.

刂	cut	It is typically at the right side of the character.
	hand	A hand with the forearm at the right and fingers stretched out to the left.
彐	hand	Traditionally, the radical 58 has the meaning: pig's head, or pig's snout. The trainer always uses it as “hand”, i.e. as a variant of , which shows a hand with the fingers pointing to the left. This often appears to be etymologically justified.
