U+7B51 "筑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

筑

U+7B51 "筑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "to build" or "to construct," often referring to the creation of structures such as houses, roads, or fortifications. It also carries the specific meaning of "zither" in classical contexts, as it names a traditional stringed instrument resembling a zither. The character is composed of the radical ⺮ (bamboo) on top, reflecting its original association with bamboo-made tools or instruments, and the phonetic component 巩 below, which contributes to its pronunciation. This character appears frequently in modern Chinese for construction-related terms like 建筑 (jiànzhù, meaning building or architecture) and in Japanese for words such as 築く (kizuku, meaning to build up or cultivate).
