U+5EE0 "廠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5EE0 "廠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means "factory," "plant," "workshop," or "yard," often referring to an industrial or manufacturing facility. It is composed of the radical 广 (yǎn), signifying a building or shelter, combined with the phonetic component 敞 (chǎng) to indicate pronunciation and connotation of spaciousness. In simplified Chinese, it is typically represented as 厂, though the traditional form 廠 retains its full structure and is still used in contexts such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and historical texts. This character appears in compound words like 工廠 (gōngchǎng, "factory") and 廠房 (chǎngfáng, "factory building"), and it plays a key role in technical, commercial, and industrial vocabulary across Chinese languages.
