U+8877 "衷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
衷
U+8877 "衷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "inner feelings," "heart," or "sincerity," and it is composed of the clothing radical 衣 (yi) on the outside, suggesting something hidden or worn within, combined with the phonetic component 中 (zhong, meaning "middle" or "center"). In modern usage, it appears in words like "衷心" (zhongxin, meaning "heartfelt" or "sincere") and "苦衷" (kuzhong, meaning "difficulties" or "secret worries"), often conveying a sense of internal emotion or hidden intent. Historically rooted in classical Chinese texts, this character emphasizes the concept of one's true, unexpressed thoughts or inner state, distinguishing it from more outward expressions of feeling.
