U+7AD8 "竘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

竘

U+7AD8 "竘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of bamboo or a bamboo stem, with its meaning often tied to hardness or roughness, as suggested by its radical composition of "竹" (bamboo) combined with "句" (sentence or bend). It appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries, such as the ancient Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as "bamboo that is hard and can be used as a staff," but it is not commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems. Due to its obscure nature, the character has limited practical application in contemporary digital typography and is primarily of interest to philologists, historical linguists, and enthusiasts of rare sinographs.
