U+77DC "矜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
矜
U+77DC "矜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings of pity, sympathy, or compassion, as seen in words like 矜憐 (jīnlián) meaning to feel for someone, but it also carries connotations of pride or self importance in compounds such as 矜持 (jīnchí) meaning reserved or dignified. This ideograph reflects a nuanced duality in classical and modern Chinese, where it can denote both a gentle, sorrowful empathy and a sense of haughty self regard, depending on context. Its structure combines the radical 矛 (spear) on the left and 令 (order or command) on the right, hinting at an original semantic association with weaponry or authority that evolved into its current abstract emotional senses.
