U+7BC0 "節" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

節

U+7BC0 "節" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that fundamentally represents the concept of a joint, knot, or node, and by extension, a festival, season, or section. In its traditional form, this ideograph is composed of the radical for bamboo (⺮) above a component related to sound or contraction, symbolizing the segments or nodes found in bamboo stalks. Metaphorically, it denotes the pivotal points where things connect or divide, such as joints in the body, divisions of time like solar terms in the lunar calendar, or moral virtues like integrity or discipline, as seen in the compound "節操" (jiécāo). It is widely used across East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in important words for holidays, chapters of books, and physical or moral constraints.
