U+7C18 "簘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7C18 "簘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in historical or classical contexts, where it is a variant form of the character "簫" (xiāo), which refers to a type of vertical bamboo flute or a reed instrument in traditional Chinese music. This ideograph is composed of the bamboo radical at the top and phonetic components below, reflecting its material and sound associations. While less common in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in ancient texts, calligraphy, or specialized character sets, retaining the same core meaning of a musical instrument made from bamboo.
