U+7B40 "筀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7B40 "筀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily denotes a type of bamboo or bamboo utensil, specifically referring to a bamboo container or a bamboo tube often used in traditional contexts. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses thousands of historically derived logographs. In classical Chinese texts, "筀" sometimes appears in relation to bamboo instruments or objects, though it is considered rare or obsolete in modern everyday usage, mainly preserved in historical literature or specialized dictionaries. The character's structure combines the radical for bamboo (竹, above) with a phonetic component resembling "桂" (guì, meaning cassia), indicating both its material association and its pronunciation.
