U+5BBD "宽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "wide," "broad," "lenient," or "spacious," and it belongs to the Kangxi radical 40 (宀, meaning "roof") with a total of 10 strokes.

As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a common logograph shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, though its pronunciation and specific usage may vary, such as "kuān" in Mandarin Chinese or "kan" in Japanese.
