Unicode Version 17.0

筊

U+7B4A "筊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of divination tool made from bamboo roots or stalks, historically used in fortune telling practices such as casting lots. It belongs to the bamboo radical and its semantic field relates to objects made from bamboo. While less common in modern everyday usage, it retains cultural significance in contexts involving ancient ritual or folk religious practices in East Asia, particularly within Chinese and Japanese traditions. The character is thus a link to historical methods of seeking guidance or predicting outcomes through bamboo implements.
