U+50F1 "僱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+50F1 "僱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to hire" or "to employ," often used in the context of engaging someone for labor or services, such as in the word "僱傭" meaning "employment" or "hiring." It is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left, indicating a human element, and the phonetic component "雇" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (gù in Mandarin). This character appears in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, where it retains similar meanings related to contractual employment. Historically, it has been used in legal and commercial documents to denote the act of hiring workers or renting services. In modern usage, it is less common in Simplified Chinese, where the variant "雇" often replaces it, but it remains relevant in traditional contexts and literary works.
