U+4F57 "佗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
佗
U+4F57 "佗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally means "burden" or "to carry on the back," and it also appears in classical texts to denote "another" or "other" when used interchangeably with the character "他" (tā). Its composition features the radical for "person" (亻) on the left, indicating a human-related meaning, and the phonetic component "它" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation as "tuō" or "tā" in Mandarin. While less common in modern usage, it retains historical and literary significance, appearing in ancient poetry and philosophical writings, such as in the work of the Warring States period philosopher Zhuangzi.
