U+7B6F "筯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

筯

U+7B6F "筯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to chopsticks, specifically those made from bamboo, as its radical suggests a bamboo component. In classical and modern usage, it can also denote a tool or implement for picking up food, often interchangeable with the more common character "筷" in some contexts, though "筯" retains a more literary or regional flavor. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a logogram used historically across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it may carry nuanced meanings related to eating utensils or, in traditional Chinese medicine, a term for a type of needle or probe.
