U+4F7F "使" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+4F7F "使" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that in modern Chinese and Japanese (as well as in historical Korean usage) primarily means "to cause," "to make," "to use," or "to send." It is composed of the radical for "person" (亻) on the left, indicating a human agent, and the phonetic component 吏 on the right, which originally related to an official or messenger. This character appears frequently in compound words such as 使用 (shiyong, "to use") and 使者 (shisha, "envoy" or "messenger"), reflecting its core semantic roles of agency and causation. Its historical usage in classical texts further reinforces its function in expressing commands, purposes, or deputized actions.
