Source: Browser Default
U+7942 "祂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used specifically as a third-person singular pronoun for deities and the divine, particularly in religious contexts such as Christianity and Confucianism. It is composed of the radical 礻 (spirit or worship) on the left, indicating its spiritual significance, and the phonetic component 也 on the right. In contrast to the more common pronoun 他 (tā) for humans or males, 祂 is reserved exclusively for referring to God, gods, or other sacred beings, and it appears frequently in Chinese translations of the Bible and other religious texts to show reverence and distinction.
