U+7B24 "笤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7B24 "笤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a broom or a brush, often made of bamboo or twigs, used for sweeping. In modern Chinese usage, it appears most commonly in the compound word "笤帚" (tiáozhou), which denotes a whisk broom or a small broom for cleaning floors and surfaces. The character is composed of the bamboo radical (⺮) on top, hinting at the material traditionally used for such brooms, and the phonetic component "召" (zhào) below. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character set and is used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, though it is less common in contemporary daily use outside of specific regional dialects or contexts describing household tools.
