Source: Browser Default
U+5E99 "庙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a temple or a shrine, particularly a small, often ancestral or local place of worship distinct from larger Buddhist or Taoist monasteries. It is a simplified form of the traditional character "廟" (U+5EDF), and its structure combines the radical "广" (guǎng), meaning a building or shelter, with the phonetic component "由" (yóu), hinting at its pronunciation which is pronounced as "miào" in Mandarin. This character is commonly used in compound words such as "寺庙" (sìmiào) for temple and "庙会" (miàohuì) for temple fair, reflecting its cultural significance in Chinese as a site for communal and religious activities.
