U+7C55 "籕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7C55 "籕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character, known in modern Mandarin as *zhòu*, that historically refers to a type of ancient calligraphic script or style of writing, commonly associated with the "Seal Script" known as *zhòuwén* or "Large Seal Script" used during the Zhou dynasty. This character is composed of the bamboo radical ⺮ suggesting writing or books, combined with the phonetic component 㐭, and it appears in classical texts to denote either a genre of calligraphy or a specific kind of document. Though rare in contemporary usage, it remains a significant glyph in the study of paleography and the history of Chinese writing systems, representing a link to the earliest forms of Chinese script before standardization under the Qin dynasty.
