侣
U+4FA3 "侣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "companion" or "partner," often used in the context of a traveling companion or a spouse. It is composed of the radical 亻 (rén, meaning "person") on the left, indicating its association with people, and the phonetic component 吕 (lǚ) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "lǚ." This ideograph appears in various East Asian languages, including Japanese, where it is read as "ryo," and Korean, where it is read as "ryeo" or "yeo," and it is commonly found in words related to togetherness or association, such as "伴侣" (bànlǚ, meaning "partner").
