U+7BCC "篌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

篌

U+7BCC "篌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a specific logographic word. This character is primarily used in classical and modern Chinese, where it refers to a type of ancient musical instrument, specifically a kind of horizontal harp or zither known as a "konghou," which was historically played in court and folk settings. The "篌" character is composed of the bamboo radical at the top, indicating its connection to bamboo or wood used in instrument construction, and a phonetic component below that hints at its pronunciation, which is "hóu" in Mandarin. It appears in historical texts and poetry, symbolizing both a physical artifact of ancient Chinese culture and the elegant auditory traditions it represents.
