U+5E8C "庌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5E8C "庌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a type of side hall or veranda-like structure adjacent to a main building, often used in classical Chinese architecture to denote a covered corridor or a place for temporary shelter. In modern usage, it has largely fallen out of common use, but it appears occasionally in historical texts and specialized discussions of ancient building terminology. The character is composed of the radical “广” (representing a building or shelter) and the phonetic component “牙” (meaning tooth or tusk), which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin as “yǎ”.
