U+5979 "她" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
她
U+5979 "她" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that serves as the third person singular feminine pronoun, meaning "she" or "her" in modern standard Mandarin. It was created in the early 20th century as a gender-specific counterpart to the masculine "他" (tā), which previously had been used for both genders, and it gained widespread adoption during China's literary reform movement to align written language with spoken distinctions. The character is formed with the radical 女 (nǚ, meaning woman) on the left and the phonetic component 也 (yě) on the right, reflecting its semantic category and pronunciation.
