About
The character 筷 is composed of the bamboo radical 竹 on top and the phonetic component 佥 below, simplifying the traditional forms 籤 and 簽. The traditional 籤 has the bamboo radical over the complex phonetic 韯, while 簽 uses 僉. The bamboo radical points to its origin: bamboo slips used for writing, divination, or drawing lots. From this concrete object, its meaning extended to include signs, labels, and the act of signing. Today, it commonly refers to signatures, visas, or tags attached to items.
