U+7AFD "竽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
竽
U+7AFD "竽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that refers to an ancient mouth-blown free reed instrument, similar to a sheng or a small organ, made from bamboo pipes arranged in a gourd or wooden wind chest. This instrument was commonly used in classical Chinese court and folk music during the Zhou dynasty and later periods, often in ensemble performances. The character itself combines the "bamboo" radical (⺮) to indicate its material, with the phonetic component "于" providing a clue to its pronunciation, historically read as "yu."
