U+5FD8 "忘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
忘
U+5FD8 "忘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to forget" or "to neglect," composed of the radical for "heart" or "mind" (心) combined with the component for "death" or "perish" (亡), which together convey the concept of something vanishing from the mind. This character is used in various East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in common words such as "忘记" (wàngjì) in Mandarin for "to forget" and "忘れる" (wasureru) in Japanese with the same meaning. Its structure reflects an ancient linguistic metaphor where forgetting is likened to the mind losing or destroying a memory.
