U+617E "慾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
慾
U+617E "慾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concept of desire, lust, or strong yearning, often with a connotation of excessive or carnal appetite. It combines the radical for "heart" or "mind" (忄) with phonetic and semantic elements, and is commonly used in classical and modern texts to denote passionate longing, such as in the term "慾望" (yùwàng) meaning "desire." In historical contexts, it appears in philosophical and literary works to discuss human impulses and moral restraint, distinct from the related but more neutral character "欲" (yù).
