们 | men

In Mandarin Chinese, 们 (Pinyin: men 🔊) is a suffix used to form plurals for pronouns and some animate nouns. This character is a phono-semantic compound of semantic 亻, a radical form of 人 “person”, and phonetic 门 (mén 🔊).

们 is a simplified form of the traditional character 們 (as 门, you may recall, is a simplified form of 門).
