U+5EC0 "廀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
廀
U+5EC0 "廀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for "shelter" or "wide space" (广). It is traditionally used to mean "to conceal" or "to hide" and appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the *Jade Sea* (Yupian) dictionary, where it is noted as a variant or alternative form of the character 廋. This logograph is composed of the "广" radical on top, indicating a building or covering, and a lower component that contributes to its phonetic and semantic value. In modern standard Chinese, it is largely obsolete and not commonly used in contemporary writing or digital communication, though it remains encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block for historical and scholarly purposes.
