U+7253 "牓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

牓

U+7253 "牓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character historically used in classical and literary contexts, primarily pronounced as "bǎng" or "pāng" in Mandarin. It traditionally refers to a wooden tablet or board used for writing announcements, lists, or notices, often seen in governmental or official settings such as posting public decrees or examination results. In ancient Chinese administration, "牓" was particularly associated with the public listing of successful candidates in imperial examinations, akin to a modern-day bulletin board or placard. Its radical is 片 (片, "slice of wood"), reflecting its original material association with carved or inscribed wood surfaces. While less common in everyday modern usage, it may still appear in historical texts, calligraphy, or compound terms referencing official records or announcements.
