About
册 refers to a book, volume, register, or album, and is also commonly used as a measure word for bound written works. Its structure is a pictograph of early writing materials in East Asia: multiple vertical bamboo or wood slips arranged side-by-side and bound with horizontal strings or straps. The vertical strokes depict the individual slips, while the horizontal line represents the binding cord, showing how lengthy documents were assembled before paper was invented.
