    You are correct. 他 for he, and 她 for she. However since they all sound the same, they’re only distinguished in writing.

      It’s not that they sound the same; they are the same and are just written differently. It was all 他 until in the 20th (I think) century they created 她 and 它 and made 他 for males only to make the language more European.
