U+5FFC "忼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5FFC "忼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically carries a dual meaning, often associated with emotions of both defiance and sorrow. It can be read in different pronunciations, such as kāng or hàng, where one sense refers to a fierce, bold, or indignant spirit, while another describes a state of great distress or lamentation. The character is composed of the heart or mind radical (忄) on the left, indicating an emotional or psychological context, and the phonetic component (亢) on the right. Though it appears in classical Chinese texts, it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, making it a somewhat obscure yet evocative component of the written language.
