Definition
祂 is a third-person pronoun used specifically for God or divine beings in Christian contexts and occasionally in fiction. It is a variant of 他/她/它 with a deity radical (礻), and is pronounced the same as 他 (tā). In everyday Chinese, you will not see 祂 used for people or animals; it only appears in religious texts, Bible translations, or fantasy settings.
