愧
U+6127 "愧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "ashamed" or "to feel shame," and it is composed of the radical 忄 (心, "heart") on the left to indicate emotion, combined with the phonetic component 鬼 (guǐ, "ghost") on the right, which historically contributed to its sound and connotation of inner distress.
