U+699C "榜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+699C "榜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a list, roster, or public notice, such as a posted announcement or ranking board, and is commonly used in terms like "榜單" (bǎngdān) for a list of successful examination candidates or "榜樣" (bǎngyàng) for an example or role model. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script block and is written with 14 strokes, combining the wood radical (木) on the left with a phonetic component that suggests the pronunciation "bǎng" in Mandarin. In historical contexts, it often referred to the imperial examination results publicly displayed on wooden boards, a practice that extended its modern meaning to awards, charts, and leaderboards in Chinese-speaking communities.
