U+7C27 "簧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
簧
U+7C27 "簧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "reed" or "spring," as in a mechanical spring or the vibrating reed in a musical instrument. It is composed of the radical for bamboo atop other components, reflecting its original reference to a thin, flexible piece of bamboo used in instruments like the harmonica or sheng. Beyond its literal sense, “簧” can also denote something that is elastic or resilient, and it appears in compound words such as “弹簧” for a metal spring or “巧簧” referring to a flattering, glib tongue. In modern usage, the character retains its relevance in both technical contexts, like engineering, and in literary descriptions of sound and flexibility.
