U+7B6E "筮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a traditional method of divination using yarrow stalks, an ancient practice deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy and culture. This character is composed of two main components: the radical for bamboo, suggesting the material used for the stalks, and a phonetic element that gives the character its pronunciation. Historically, "筮" is associated with the Yijing, or I Ching, a classic text used for fortune telling and decision making, where the diviner would manipulate yarrow sticks to generate hexagrams. In modern usage, while less common in everyday writing, it still appears in contexts discussing ancient rituals, philosophical texts, or historical Chinese literature.
