U+5F3E "弾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弾
U+5F3E "弾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "bullet," "shell," or "ball," and is also commonly used as a variant form of the character 彈 (tan) in Japanese, where it appears in words like 弾丸 (dangan, meaning bullet) and 弾く (hiku, meaning to play a stringed instrument or to flick). This character combines the radical 弓 (bow) with the phonetic component 单 (dan), reflecting its historical association with archery and projectile force. In modern usage, it is particularly prevalent in Japanese kanji, where it denotes not only physical projectiles but also concepts of elasticity, rebounding, and musical performance.
