U+5FE0 "忠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

忠

U+5FE0 "忠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logograph that fundamentally represents the concept of loyalty, devotion, or faithfulness. Composed of the radical for "heart" or "mind" (心) beneath the character for "middle" or "center" (中), its etymology conveys the idea of holding a centered and unwavering heart. In Confucian philosophy, it is a cardinal virtue, often translated as "loyalty" or "conscientiousness," describing a person's sincere and dedicated commitment to their duties, relationships, or ruler. The character appears across East Asian languages and cultures, from historical texts like the "Analects" of Confucius to modern terms for "loyalty" and "faithfulness," such as "chūsei" in Japanese and "chung" in Korean.
