U+5ECE "廎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

廎

U+5ECE "廎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of a small room, a side chamber, or a narrow space, often found in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern everyday language. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 53 (广, meaning "shelter" or "house") and has a total of 15 strokes, with its traditional form emphasizing an enclosed or recessed area. In historical Chinese texts, it could refer to a study, a closet, or a secluded corner, and it is also sometimes used as a surname, though this usage is extremely uncommon. The character's pronunciation in Mandarin is usually "qǐng" or "qìng," varying slightly by regional dialect, but it remains obscure and is largely absent from standard digital lexicons or common input methods.
