Unicode Version 17.0
廊
U+5ECA "廊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a corridor, veranda, or covered walkway, often found in traditional East Asian architecture as a connecting passage between buildings or around a courtyard. In Mandarin Chinese, it is pronounced as "láng" and appears in compound words such as 走廊 (zǒuláng) meaning hallway or corridor, and 画廊 (huàláng) meaning art gallery. The character is composed of the radical 广 (yǎn), which relates to a building or shelter, and the phonetic component 郎 (láng), and it is commonly used in both written and formal contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it retains similar architectural and metaphorical meanings related to passage and enclosure.
