#### Usage notes

When written as the polite personal suffix, this kanji form is the most honorific form, and is called 永様 (ei-sama, literally “永-form”) to distinguish from 次様 (tsugi-zama, for 檨, literally “次-form”), 美様 (bi-zama, for 𣖙, literally “美-form”), and 平様 (hira-zama, for shinjitai form 様, literally “common form”).
