U+4F47 "佇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4F47 "佇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it functions as a verb meaning "to stand" or "to wait for" someone or something, often carrying connotations of respectful anticipation or prolonged stillness. This ideograph is composed of the radical "亻" (man, person) on the left, which indicates its association with people or human actions, and the phonetic component "宁" on the right, which hints at its pronunciation and contributes to the overall meaning of pausing or remaining in one place. In classical literary works, "佇" appears in poetic verses to evoke a sense of longing or patient waiting, such as when a character stands gazing into the distance. Its usage is less common in modern simplified Chinese, where it has been largely replaced by the character "伫" with a slightly different radical form, but it remains a standard component in the Unicode standard for encoding historical and regional texts.
