About
The character "伲" is a phono-semantic compound formed by the person radical 亻 and the phonetic component 尼, which provides its pronunciation. Historically, this character served as a variant for the second-person pronoun "你" in some earlier texts, but its meaning later shifted to specifically denote the first-person plural "we" or "our" within Wu Chinese dialects, reflecting a change in its pronominal reference over time.
