The Chinese character 她 (tā) is composed of two parts: 女 (nǚ), which means "woman," and 他 (tā), which means "he." The character 她 is therefore a combination of the two characters that represent the two genders. This character was created in the early 20th century as a way to refer to women in a more gender-neutral way. Before this, the character 他 was used to refer to both men and women. The character 她 is now the standard way to refer to women in Chinese.The character 她 is also used in some other languages, such as Japanese and Korean, to refer to women. In Japanese, the character is pronounced "kanojo" and in Korean, it is pronounced "geu녀."
