Source: Browser Default
U+5EB8 "庸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "common," "mediocre," or "ordinary," and it also carries the sense of "to employ" or "to use" in classical contexts. In modern Chinese, it appears in words such as "平庸" (píng yōng), meaning mediocre or commonplace, and "庸俗" (yōng sú), meaning vulgar or philistine. Historically, the character is associated with ancient philosophical and literary works, including its use in expressions like "中庸" (zhōng yōng), the central doctrine of Confucianism that emphasizes balance and harmony. Its structure combines the radical "广" (roof or shelter) with components that contribute to its phonetic and semantic readings, reflecting its evolution from bronze script origins.
