Tips
usage
箓 almost never stands alone today. You will meet it inside 符箓 (Daoist talisman) and 图箓 (prophetic chart). Treat it as a bound character tied to Daoist ritual writing.
The bamboo cap files this character under the bamboo radical, pointing to writing surfaces: registers and charms were brushed on bamboo slips and strips before paper was common.
