U+5ED6 "廖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
廖
U+5ED6 "廖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily as a surname, ranking among the most common family names in China. It is also found in historical and literary contexts, such as the legendary figure Liao Hua from the classic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." The character itself is composed of the radical for "roof" or "shelter" (广) and a phonetic component resembling "feathers" (羽) combined with a human figure (人), though its direct semantic meaning relates to emptiness, vastness, or a surname rather than a literal object.
