cjk unified ideograph-5ecd

Taiwanese sugar-workshop character

廍 names a traditional Taiwanese sugar workshop. In Taiwanese Hokkien, it begins with an airy p followed by an open o; phōo is the tone-marked romanization. Place names can preserve an old workshop's location or memory.

Text symbol

What 廍 means

A site where sugarcane became sugar. In Qing-era Taiwan, a 1717 record lists workshop equipment; a 1722 account describes building a 廍屋, fitting cane crushers and hiring workers.

糖廍 and 蔗廍 name the workshop; 糖間 is where crude sugar was refined. Taiwanese place names preserve former sites: 廍仔 names a settlement; 廍後 means the area behind the workshop.

Regional, historical Taiwanese usage.

Not a generic word for any factory; its established sense is a traditional sugar site.

Why does 廍 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
