俟
U+4FDF "俟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to wait" or "to await," often found in Classical Chinese texts and literary contexts. It is composed of the radical 亻 (person) on the left, indicating a human action, and the phonetic component 矣 on the right, which hints at the sound. Historically, it appears in expressions of anticipation or patience, such as in the idiom "俟机而动" meaning "to wait for the right moment to act." This character is also used in Japanese as a jōyō kanji with similar meanings and in rare personal names or place names.
