U+5572 "啲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
啲
U+5572 "啲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in Cantonese, where it is pronounced as "di" or "dit" in Jyutping. It functions as a versatile particle or quantifier, often meaning "a bit," "a few," or serving as an adverbial suffix in colloquial expressions, similar to the Mandarin "的" or "地" but with distinct tonal and contextual usage. The character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left and "的" on the right, reflecting its phonetic and semantic connections within written Cantonese. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports digital communication and text processing for the complex needs of Chinese dialects beyond standard Mandarin.
