U+53F8 "司" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means "to manage" or "to take charge" and is often used in words related to official duties, administration, or organization, such as "公司" (company) or "司机" (driver). Its form consists of a radical on the left representing a mouth or speech, combined with a component on the right meaning a tool or implement, reflecting its original sense of overseeing or directing tasks. In modern usage, it appears frequently in compound terms for titles like manager or director, and is an integral part of both everyday vocabulary and formal titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts.
