About
佛 is a phono-semantic compound, with the human radical 亻 on the left indicating its connection to people, and the phonetic component 弗 on the right. Originally a phonetic loan, it was adopted to transcribe the Sanskrit word "Buddha" as Buddhism entered China. Its meaning thus refers specifically to the founder of Buddhism, the religion, its philosophy, and enlightened figures within its tradition.
