Tips

history
仏 is the Japanese simplified writing of 佛 'Buddha'. It is not used in standard Chinese, which writes 佛; you meet 仏 only in Japanese text or when discussing variant forms.
register
Japanese variant only. In Chinese always use 佛.

Components

radical
亻 rén
person
The person radical 亻 (left-side form of 人) marks 仏 as an enlightened being and is its indexing radical, as in 佛.
ideograph
厶 sī
private; (here) abbreviated body
Japanese simplification replaced the 弗 phonetic of 佛 with this simple 厶 shape; here it is just an abbreviating mark, not meaningful.
