The mark 々 repeats the previous kanji. Dropping it would lose one character from this name.

Keep the original
佐々木
佐々木 stays in the original-name line.
Expand the repeated character
佐佐木
The Chinese comparison reads 佐佐木: a second 佐 takes the place of 々.
Match Pinyin to each character
Zuǒ Zuǒ Mù
Zuǒ, Zuǒ and Mù correspond to 佐, 佐 and 木. These are dictionary tones; two third tones together change when spoken in sequence.

This gives Mandarin readings of the written characters. It does not transcribe the Japanese sound Sasaki into Chinese.

Japanese forms such as 沢, 竜 and 浜 can map to corresponding Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters. All three forms are displayed side by side.

The tool creates a Katakana approximation from the converted Chinese characters to provide a written pronunciation reference.
