U+5E8B "庋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Its structure combines the radical for "guang" (广) representing a shelter or house, with the phonetic component "zhi" (支), and is classified under the Kangxi radical 53 (广) with 8 total strokes. In historical contexts, it appears in literary works such as those by Song Dynasty scholars, and in modern usage, it is most commonly found in compound terms related to storage, like "庋藏" meaning to store or collect something. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is distinct from its more complex variant 廦, though both share a core semantic association with containment and shelter.
