慙
U+6159 "慙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of shame or embarrassment. Composed of the radical for heart or mind (心) as its base, combined with a phonetic component, this character is a variant form of the more common character 慚 (U+615A), though it is used less frequently in modern text. Its structure typically suggests an inner sense of moral discomfort or regret, often appearing in classical or literary Chinese contexts. In Japanese, it is a nonstandard variant of the character used to express the same emotion of shame.
