| A non-binary third-person [[pronoun]], added to the Unicode standard at code point U+323BF in 2025, but not yet rendered by most fonts (One font that does is [https://github.com/lxgw/LxgwWenKai-Lite/releases LxgwWenKai-Lite]). It is composed of “乂” (left) and “也” (right). Due to the technical difficulty of using it, the character has often been written “X也” in the past.

Both characters are listed in Unicode block “[https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U323B0.pdf CJK Unified Ideographs Extension J]”.) | |||
