About
篮 is a phono-semantic compound that combines a meaning element and a sound element. The upper component is the bamboo radical 竹 (written as ⺮), referring to the bamboo traditionally used to weave baskets. The lower component, 监, is a simplified version of 監 and serves as the phonetic, giving the character its pronunciation. In the traditional form 籃, the full 監 appears. The original meaning is a woven basket, and in modern usage the character has also come to mean a basketball hoop.
