U+505A "做" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+505A "做" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "to do," "to make," or "to perform," and is widely used in both classical and modern Chinese writing to denote actions or the act of engaging in an activity. It is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left, indicating human agency, and the phonetic component "故" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (zuò in Mandarin). This character appears in many common words and phrases, such as "工作" (work) and "做人" (to be a person), and it functions as a standard logograph in the Unicode Standard for representing this ideograph across digital text systems.
