I'm learning Russian and I don't know what it is for that, but in German I've seen "xier", "sier", and "dey". I might use "dey/dem".

I don't think Croatian has it, and it is very gendered language. But some ideas

3rd person singular "ono" is literally translated "it" in English might work, but it feels dehumanizing when referred to one specific person, at least to me.

In my opinion what might work are 3rd person plural "oni" idk kinda hard when language is gendered.
