What 笿 means
笿 names an old Chinese bamboo container, especially one for cups or dishes.
The Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi (《说文解字》) defines it through 桮笿, a container for cups or dishes. Fangyan (《方言》), an early book on regional speech, records related basket terms including 杯落 and 豆筥. A bamboo slip from Jiangling Tomb 167 is an earlier Western Han witness.
Historical dictionaries also give 笿 a broader bamboo-basket sense. They connect it with 篝, a cover for warming or scenting clothes, and preserve an old “bind” sense linked to 络.
What does 笿 mean when someone sends it?
A lone 笿 is an old word; its intended sense needs context.
If it arrives without a sentence, ask what source or subject the sender means.
How do I type 笿?
Use a Chinese pinyin input method or Unicode entry.
A Chinese pinyin keyboard lets you type a sound spelling and choose a character; enter luo and check the candidates. If 笿 is absent, use the editor’s Unicode input feature with U7B3F.
Archaic, specialist vocabulary; it suits historical texts and dictionary work.
A bare 笿 does not tell you which historical sense the sender intends.

The encoded character is the same. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts may use different regional or stylistic stroke shapes; a font without the glyph may show a replacement box.
