笔
U+7B14 "笔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a pen, pencil, or writing instrument, as well as the act of writing itself. It is composed of the radical for bamboo (竹) at the top, reflecting the historical use of bamboo for making writing brushes, and the bottom component 毛 (mao), meaning fur or hair, which alludes to the brush tip. In modern usage, "笔" appears in common words such as 笔记本 (notebook) and 笔画 (stroke of a character), and it holds cultural significance in East Asian calligraphy and literature as a symbol of expression and learning.
