U+8C31 "谱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
谱
U+8C31 "谱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "score" or "notation," as in a musical score or a written record, and also conveys the broader concepts of "chart," "list," or "to compose." It is composed of the radical "讠" (speech or words) on the left, indicating its connection to language or written expression, and the phonetic component "普" on the right, which suggests the pronunciation "pǔ" in Mandarin. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese to refer to sheet music, genealogies (as in "家谱"), or a general sense of a record or system, reflecting its role in organizing and communicating structured information across cultural and historical contexts.
