U+7C5C "籜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

籜

U+7C5C "籜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally refers to the sheath or outer covering of bamboo shoots, specifically the tough, protective layers that encase the young shoot as it emerges from the ground. In classical literature and botanical contexts, this character describes the bamboo shoot husk, which is often peeled away before cooking or crafting. Its composition combines the bamboo radical (⺮) with the phonetic component 睪, reflecting both its material association and pronunciation in Middle Chinese. While less common in modern everyday usage, 籜 appears in specialized texts, poetry, and historical references to bamboo cultivation, preserving its niche but precise meaning within the broader CJK unified ideograph repertoire.
