舧 or the complete phrase 舧и產


Explanation:
The above are self-explanatory.
To add one more version: the old traditional greeting which is still used in writing (in formal occasions). And its first four characters are still used now in Taiwan(by salespeople in stores, and other commercial establish-ments to greet customers.)
That version is:
舧羬碒 The last two characters
碒 mean "my humble home" or literally "cold shed."

欢迎光临寒舍


Explanation:
I agree with chooi answer, which is 欢迎光临,but I believe that if you add in 寒舍,which is a polite way to say "my house" in Chinese, it should be better.
