Unicode Version 17.0

忧

U+5FE7 "忧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "worry," "anxiety," or "concern," and it is composed of the radical 忄 (heart) on the left, which relates to emotions or feelings, combined with the component 尤 on the right. In traditional Chinese philosophy and literature, this character often appears in expressions about deep care for others or distress over life's challenges, such as in Confucian texts where it denotes a virtuous person's concern for moral integrity and societal harmony. Its usage extends to modern contexts where it forms words like 忧愁 (yōuchóu) meaning "sorrowful" or 担忧 (dānyōu) meaning "to worry," reflecting a core emotional concept in both classical and everyday Chinese language.
