U+7B0A "笊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
笊
U+7B0A "笊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a bamboo strainer or colander, most commonly used in East Asian cooking to drain hot liquids from solid foods, such as noodles or dumplings. Its structure combines the bamboo radical "⺮" on top, indicating its material, with "爪" below, which originally depicted a hand or claw, reflecting the tool's function of grasping or separating. This character is used in both Chinese and Japanese scripts, though its pronunciation and contextual meanings may vary slightly between the languages.
