赀 is rarely used in contemporary language, and learners may confuse it with its more common variant 资. It is generally formal, making it suitable for academic or literary contexts rather than everyday conversation. Be cautious with tones; 'zī' must be pronounced with a high level tone to convey the correct meaning.
