U+6007 "怇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6007 "怇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that primarily conveys meanings related to fear, terror, or being startled, often appearing in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern everyday usage. This character is composed of the radical 忄 (xīn), which denotes heart or emotion, combined with the phonetic component 巨 (jù), which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In historical texts, such as those from the Han dynasty or later classical works, "怇" is used to describe a state of alarm or a sudden shock, though it is now considered rare and has largely been replaced by more common synonyms like 驚 (jīng) or 恐 (kǒng) in standard Chinese. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures that it remains encoded for preservation in digital documents and scholarly research on ancient Chinese literature.
