U+53A0 "厠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
厠
U+53A0 "厠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character traditionally meaning "toilet" or "lavatory," and it is a variant of the more common modern Chinese character 廁 (cè). Its structure combines the "cliff" radical (厂) with the phonetic component 則, reflecting its origin as an enclosed or side building, as early toilets were often located in modest structures on the periphery of homes or palaces. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and is still recognized in some historical or regional contexts, though it has largely been replaced by the simplified form 厕 in contemporary usage.
