U+4F62 "佢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4F62 "佢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in Cantonese and Hakka languages, where it functions as the third-person singular pronoun meaning "he," "she," or "it." It is composed of the radical for "person" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its logographic nature in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) writing system. While not commonly used in Standard Mandarin, which prefers the character "他" for this purpose, "佢" remains an essential part of colloquial and written Cantonese, appearing frequently in texts, literature, and digital communications within Cantonese-speaking communities. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent representation across digital platforms, preserving linguistic diversity in East Asian typography.
