U+7B4C "筌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
筌
U+7B4C "筌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily signifies a type of bamboo fish trap or basket, often used for catching fish in shallow waters, and by extension, it can refer to any implement or device used for trapping, particularly in classical Chinese literature and philosophy, where it metaphorically represents a tool or means to an end, such as in the Daoist text Zhuangzi, where the "fish trap" is used as an analogy for the language or concepts that help one grasp a deeper truth, though they should be discarded once the insight is attained.
