U+7BB8 "箸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "chopsticks," the pair of thin sticks used as eating utensils in many East Asian cultures, though it also historically carries the meaning of "to hold" or "to grasp." In modern usage, it is commonly seen in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it represents the essential dining implement made from materials like bamboo, wood, or plastic. Its composition combines the radical for bamboo (⺮) with the element for "person" or "someone" (者), reflecting the traditional crafting of chopsticks from bamboo and their intimate connection to human mealtime activity.
