Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+7C21 "簡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "simple," "brief," or "bamboo slip for writing," the latter referring to ancient bamboo strips used for recording text before the invention of paper. It is composed of the bamboo radical (竹) and a phonetic component (間), reflecting its historical association with written documents and, by extension, the concept of simplifying or condensing information. In modern usage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, it commonly appears in words such as "簡單" (simplified/easy) and retains its dual connotations of physical simplicity and textual brevity.
