From what I know, you can shoot both 5.56 and .223 through a chamber marked 5.56. But it is not wise to shoot 5.56 through a .223 chamber.

If your barrel is chambered for 5.56 you can safely shoot both 5.56 and .223 through it. If it's a .223 Wylde chambered rifle you can shoot both through it also. If however, it's chambered for .223 - DON'T shoot 5.56 through it!!! The 5.56 is loaded to higher pressures than the .223 and damage to the rifle and/or you may occur.

It's important to note, Sometimes barrels aren't always marked totally correct. I've never seen a 223 marked 5.56 but DPMS barrels for example are sometimes (my 20" HBAR is) marked .223, but it's a 5.56.
