U+7B50 "筐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
筐
U+7B50 "筐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies a basket or a container, typically woven from bamboo or other flexible materials. This ideograph is composed of the radical ⺮ (bamboo) on top, indicating its material association, and the component 匡 (kuāng) below, which provides phonetic guidance. In modern usage, "筐" appears in words like "竹筐" (bamboo basket) and "筐子" (a general term for a basket), and it also extends metaphorically to describe basket-like structures in contexts such as basketball (篮球筐) or waste containers (垃圾桶). The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, representing a standard Chinese and Japanese kanji with deep roots in East Asian writing systems.
