U+5FE1 "忡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

忡

U+5FE1 "忡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that conveys a sense of deep worry, anxiety, or sorrow, often used in classical and literary contexts to describe a troubled or heavy heart. Composed of the radical 心 (heart, mind) on the left, which appears here as 忄, and the phonetic component 中 (zhōng, meaning middle or center), the character visually suggests a heart filled with distress or agitation from within. It is not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese but appears in idioms, poetry, and historical texts, such as the famous line from the Classic of Poetry (Shijing), where it describes a state of unrelenting grief or preoccupation. In pronunciation, it is read as chōng in Mandarin, and its meaning remains closely tied to emotional turmoil or melancholy.
