U+7B79 "筹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

筹

U+7B79 "筹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that traditionally means "to prepare," "to plan," "to raise (funds)," or "a chip (as in a gambling token or counting rod)." Its composition combines the bamboo radical (⺮) denoting fragility or counting tools, with the phonetic component 寿 (shòu, meaning longevity), reflecting its historical use for bamboo slips or sticks used in calculations and strategy. In modern Chinese, it appears in words like 筹备 (chóubèi, to prepare) and 筹集 (chóují, to raise or collect), and it retains a strong connotation of meticulous foresight and resource management in both business and everyday contexts.
