Originally 着 was just a different way of writing the character 著. Now 著 is mostly written only for the pronunciation zhù, and 着 is written for the other pronunciations; but sometimes 著 is still used rather than 着 among full form characters, regardless of the pronunciation.

着 seems to have more pronunciations and meanings than any other Chinese character (except perhaps for 和). Don’t be discouraged. Even native Chinese speakers can’t always get it straight, especially the distinction between 着 zháo and 着 zhuó. For example, a friend of mine says 着陆 as zháolù though the dictionaries say zhuólù. The dictionaries disagree on whether 着 in 不着边际 (‘not to the point’) should be zháo or zhuó. On the other hand, the distinction between 着 zhe and 着 zháo really is important.

Originally 着 was just a different way of writing the character ​. Now ​ is mostly written only for the pronunciation zhù, and 着 is written for the other pronunciations; but sometimes ​ is still used rather than 着 among full form characters, regardless of the pronunciation.
    着 seems to have more pronunciations and meanings than any other Chinese character (except perhaps for ​). Don’t be discouraged. Even native Chinese speakers can’t always get it straight, especially the distinction between 着 zháo and 着 zhuó. For example, a friend of mine says 着​ as zháolù though the dictionaries say zhuólù. The dictionaries disagree on whether 着 in ​着​ (‘not to the point’) should be zháo or zhuó. On the other hand, the distinction between 着 zhe and 着 zháo really is important.
