U+7C15 "簕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7C15 "簕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in Cantonese and other southern Chinese dialects, where it commonly denotes a thorn or a bramble, often appearing in the name of a bamboo-related plant such as the "簕竹" or thorny bamboo. In Mandarin, it is read as "lè" and carries a similar meaning of a prickly or barbed object, often associated with the natural world. Its graphical composition consists of the bamboo radical at the top, indicating its link to bamboo or plant life, while the lower component suggests the idea of being entangled or caught, reinforcing its connection to thorny vines or barriers. This character is relatively rare in everyday modern Chinese but can be found in literary or regional contexts, particularly in descriptions of flora or traditional medicinal herbs.
