Unicode Version 17.0
慼
U+617C "慼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that conveys a profound sense of sorrow, grief, or distress, often with an internal or emotional emphasis. It is composed of the heart radical 心 as its base, indicating its emotional nature, combined with a phonetic component that originally contributed to its pronunciation. While less common in modern everyday usage, it frequently appears in classical Chinese literature and poetry, where it is used to depict deep melancholy or familial mourning. In historical texts, it often appears alongside related characters for sadness or pity, maintaining a distinct literary and emotional weight that sets it apart from more general terms for unhappiness.
