U+53A2 "厢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
厢
U+53A2 "厢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that commonly means "side room", "wing", or "compartment", often referring to a small, partitioned space attached to a main building, such as a train compartment, a theater box, or a side chamber in traditional Chinese architecture. It is composed of the radical for "cliff" or "factory" (厂) and the phonetic component "相", which also carries connotations of mutual relation or appearance. In modern usage, "厢" appears in words like "车厢" (chēxiāng, meaning "train carriage") and "包厢" (bāoxiāng, meaning "private booth" or "box seat"), highlighting its role in describing enclosed, functional spaces within larger structures.
