U+7F76 "罶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7F76 "罶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, specifically representing a type of fishing net or trap, often depicted as a basket-like device with a narrow opening used to catch fish in rivers or streams. Its radical components include the “net” radical (罒) on top, which signals its association with netting or trapping, and the phonetic component “酉” (yǒu) below, contributing to its pronunciation in Mandarin as liǔ. Historically, this character appears in classical texts and dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, where it denotes a simple yet ingenious fishing implement, reflecting ancient practices of subsistence and the cultural importance of aquatic resources in East Asian societies.
