廈
U+5EC8 "廈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "a tall building" or "a mansion," often referring to a large, multi-story structure or a veranda. It is composed of the radical for "roof" or "shelter" (广) and the phonetic component 夏 (xià), which can relate to summer or grandeur.
