U+4ED4 "仔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
仔
U+4ED4 "仔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "young" or "small," often used in compounds to refer to a young animal, a child, or a person engaged in a specific trade, such as in "牛仔" (niúzǎi, meaning cowboy) or "馬仔" (mǎzǎi, meaning underling or little brother). It is composed of the radical 亻 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 子 (zǐ, meaning child or son) on the right, reflecting its semantic link to youth or junior status. In modern usage, it appears in both casual and formal contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though its frequency and nuance vary by language, often carrying a diminutive or informal tone.
