U+6046 "恆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6046 "恆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "constant," "persistent," or "enduring," and it is often used to express the concept of permanence or regularity in classical and modern East Asian texts. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "heart" or "mind" (忄) combined with a phonetic component suggesting a sense of continuity or circling back, emphasizing an inner state of steadfastness. In philosophical contexts, such as Confucian thought, this character appears in important terms like "heng xin" (constant heart) or the "Heng" hexagram from the I Ching, which symbolizes lasting stability and the virtue of perseverance over time. Unlike its simplified counterpart "恒", the traditional form retains the more complex structure that reflects its historical etymology and deeper semantic layers.
