U+7B4D "筍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
筍
U+7B4D "筍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, where it represents the bamboo shoot, the edible young sprout of a bamboo plant. In Chinese, it is commonly read as sǔn and carries the meaning of both the shoot itself and related concepts such as tender or nascent growth, often appearing in culinary contexts like 竹筍 (bamboo shoot) or in idioms. In Japanese, it is pronounced take no ko or jō. The character is composed of the radical 竹 (bamboo) on top, symbolizing its plant classification, and the phonetic component 隼 (sun), which hints at its pronunciation and gives it a combined structure rooted in traditional Chinese character formation.
