The kanji 簿 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a radical (部首) that is commonly associated with bamboo or other writing materials, such as 竹, representing 竹かんむり. The right side of the character provides the sound, 甫, which acts as a phonetic component. Together, these components suggest that this is a written record made on bamboo slips.
