U+617B "慻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+617B "慻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically denotes the concept of "looking in the distance" or "searching eagerly," often implying a sense of longing or anticipation directed outward. Its semantic components include the radical for "heart" or "mind" (忄) on the left, indicating an emotional or psychological state, and a phonetic element on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. Unlike common modern Chinese characters, 慻 is not frequently encountered in contemporary texts, appearing instead in classical literature or specialized dictionaries where it captures a nuanced, introspective act of gazing or yearning. This character thus preserves a specific cultural and linguistic detail from earlier stages of written Chinese.
