U+7B46 "筆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7B46 "筆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character meaning "pen," "brush," or "writing implement," and it is composed of the radical for bamboo (⺮) above the phonetic component 聿, which conveys the idea of holding a brush to write. This character is used across several East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese (where it is read as "fude" or "hitsu"), and Korean (where it is read as "pil"), and it appears in compound words such as 鉛筆 (qiānbǐ or enpitsu) meaning "pencil" and 筆記 (bǐjì or hikki) meaning "notes" or "written record." In classical Chinese culture, the writing brush was one of the Four Treasures of the Study, alongside ink, paper, and inkstone, and this character symbolizes the scholarly tradition of calligraphy and literature.
