Pictograph of a hand holding a writing utensil.
About
The character 聿 is a pictogram depicting a hand holding a writing brush upright, with the brush made of animal hair attached to a bamboo or wooden shaft. It originally meant "writing brush" before the bamboo radical 竹 was added to form the modern character 笔. Today, 聿 is mainly used as a radical in characters related to writing or brushing actions. When used alone, it appears almost exclusively in classical texts as a grammatical particle or as a rare surname.
