倌
U+500C "倌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily meaning "waiter," "attendant," or "a person in charge" and is commonly used in terms such as "堂倌" (waiter in a restaurant) or "羊倌" (shepherd). Its structure combines the radical for "person" (亻) with the phonetic component "官" (guan), which provides the pronunciation cues, and it is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block for languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean. This character appears in classical Chinese literature to denote a low-ranking official or servant, and its usage has evolved to emphasize service roles in modern contexts.
