賜
U+8CDC "賜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bestow" or "to grant," often used in contexts of giving gifts or honors from a superior to an inferior, such as an emperor granting favors to subjects. It appears in classical Chinese texts, historical records, and modern East Asian languages including Japanese and Korean, where it can be read as "shi" in Mandarin, "shi" or "tamawaru" in Japanese, and "sa" in Korean. The character is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, representing wealth or treasure) on the left, and the phonetic component "易" (change or easy) on the right, reflecting its semantic association with the transfer of valuable items.
