庶
U+5EB6 "庶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "numerous," "common," or "ordinary," and it often carries the connotation of "the masses" or "common people" in classical and modern Chinese. Its structure combines the radical for "cliff" or "broad" (广) with phonetic and semantic elements, reflecting its historical use in compounds like 庶民 (shùmín, meaning "commoners") or 庶務 (shùwù, meaning "general affairs"). This character is also found in Japanese and Korean contexts, where it retains similar meanings related to plurality or commonality, and it appears in important terms such as 庶幾 (shùjǐ, meaning "almost" or "to hope") in Classical Chinese texts.
