U+7B08 "笈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

笈

U+7B08 "笈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a box or case, often used for holding books, documents, or writing instruments, and it can also denote a satchel or a portable container in classical contexts. Its structure combines the bamboo radical (⺮) on top, indicating an object made from bamboo, with the phonetic component 及, which provides a clue to its pronunciation as "jí" in Mandarin Chinese. Historically, this character was associated with scholars who carried their books or manuscripts in such a container, linking it to the pursuit of learning and literary culture. In modern usage, it appears in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, though it is less common in everyday vocabulary and tends to be found in more formal or historical texts.
