箎

U+7B8E "箎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to an ancient type of bamboo wind instrument, similar to a flute or a panpipe, and is also associated with a specific term in classical texts for a whistle or a musical tube. In modern usage, this character is rarely used in everyday language but appears in scholarly contexts such as historical literature, musicology, and the study of ancient Chinese instruments, where it denotes a specific artifact from the Zhou dynasty or earlier periods. Its structure combines the radical for bamboo with a phonetic component, reflecting its material and function as a bamboo-made musical device.
