Unicode Version 17.0
憯
U+61AF "憯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily conveys a sense of sorrow, grief, or pity, often used in classical literary contexts to describe a deep, heartfelt sadness or a state of being distressed. Its semantic component relates to the heart or emotions, while its phonetic element suggests connections to words meaning "cruel" or "harsh," reflecting an emotional response to suffering or harsh conditions. Historically, it appears in ancient texts such as the "Shiji" (Records of the Grand Historian) and classical poetry, where it describes poignant or mournful feelings. In modern usage, it is relatively uncommon, found mainly in formal or literary writing rather than everyday conversation.
