Unicode Version 17.0
彈
U+5F48 "彈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concepts of a projectile, such as a bullet or a pellet, as well as the action of shooting or launching, often associated with a slingshot or a bow. Its radical is 弓 (bow), indicating its historical connection to archery and weaponry, while the phonetic component 单 provides a clue to its pronunciation, which varies across Chinese dialects, such as "dàn" for a bullet or "tán" for the verb "to shoot" or "to spring" like a catapult. In modern usage, this character appears in terms like 子弹 (zǐdàn, bullet) and 弹弓 (dàngōng, slingshot), and it is also used in Japanese and Korean scripts with similar meanings related to projectiles and elasticity.
