U+7B1E "笞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
笞
U+7B1E "笞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means to flog or beat with a bamboo stick, often referring to a form of corporal punishment in ancient China. It is composed of the radical for bamboo (竹) above the character 台, which contributes to its phonetic and semantic components. In classical texts, this character appears in legal and historical contexts describing penal codes, as well as in literature to metaphorically denote harsh criticism or severe correction. In modern usage, it is less common in everyday language but remains recognized in scholarly discussions of ancient governance and punishment systems.
