U+5EE2 "廢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
廢
U+5EE2 "廢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character most commonly meaning "to discard, abolish, or abandon," and is also used in Japanese (as 廃) and Korean (as 폐) with similar connotations. Its structure combines the "广" (shelter) radical with phonetic and semantic components that together convey the idea of something being rendered useless or discontinued. Historically, it appears in contexts ranging from legal terminology for abolishing laws (as in 廢除) to everyday phrases about scrapping objects or habits. While standardized in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block, it exists in both traditional (as shown) and simplified (废) forms, reflecting its enduring role across East Asian languages.
