U+6761 "条" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+6761 "条" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a measure word for long, thin, or flexible objects, such as fish, roads, or strips of material, and also carries meanings related to "item," "article," or "clause." It is a simplified form of the traditional character "條," and its composition includes the radical "木" (tree or wood) atop components that historically conveyed the idea of a twig or branch, reflecting its original reference to slender tree branches. In modern usage, "条" appears frequently in everyday vocabulary, from "条件" (condition) and "条约" (treaty) to "面条" (noodles), and it is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, representing its shared use across multiple East Asian writing systems.
