A hand holding a stylus, scratching lines on a tablet, symbolizes a writing stylus. Bamboo (竹) added to stylus produces pen. Bamboo combined with hair (毛) also makes “pen”: 笔. Although both the traditional character 筆 and simplified character 笔 can be used to write “pen”, the saying goes: “A pen cannot write two words at the same time!’
