Unicode Version 17.0
慈
U+6148 "慈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concept of compassion, mercy, or kindness. Often used in words like "慈悲" (cíbēi), meaning mercy or benevolence in Buddhist contexts, and "慈祥" (cíxiáng), describing a kind and gentle demeanor, this ideograph is deeply rooted in East Asian cultural and philosophical traditions, particularly within Confucianism and Buddhism. Its structure combines the components of "心" (heart or mind) and "兹" (this, now), suggesting a heart that feels empathy and goodwill toward others, and it appears frequently in names, proverbs, and classical literature to denote maternal affection or moral virtue.
