U+7AFC "竼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
竼
U+7AFC "竼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin. It is classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes characters shared across these writing systems. The character "竼" is composed of the radical for "bamboo" (竹) and a phonetic component, suggesting it may have historically referred to a type of bamboo or a bamboo-related object. In contemporary usage, it is largely absent from everyday texts and is primarily encountered in specialized linguistic or historical contexts, such as ancient dictionaries or classical literature.
