笏
U+7B0F "笏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a "hu," a long, narrow, flat tablet made of ivory, jade, or bamboo, which was held by officials in ancient China during court audiences as a ceremonial item for taking notes or representing rank and authority. This character combines the bamboo radical (⺮) on top, indicating its material origin, with a phonetic component (勿) on the bottom. Historically, the hu tablet was an essential part of formal court dress, and its use has been documented in classical Chinese texts, making this character a symbol of traditional bureaucracy and ritual protocol.
