Tips

history
広 is the Japanese simplified writing of 廣, which Chinese simplifies instead to 广. It is not used in standard Chinese; you meet 広 only in Japanese text or in discussions of variant forms.
register
Japanese variant only. In Chinese always use 广.

Components

radical
广 guǎng
a lean-to shelter; building
The 'shelter' element 广 forms the top and left and is the indexing radical; it is exactly the Chinese simplified form of the whole character 广.
ideograph
厶 sī
private; (here) abbreviated body
Japanese simplification reduced the elaborate 黃 inside traditional 廣 to this tiny 厶 mark; it is just a space-filler, not meaningful.
