U+61F4 "懴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+61F4 "懴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or alternative form of the more common character "懺" which means remorse, repentance, or confession in Buddhist and broader ethical contexts. It is composed of the radical for heart or mind on the left, indicating emotion or inner feeling, and a phonetic component on the right. This character is traditionally used in classical texts, sutras, and liturgical writings, particularly in East Asian Buddhist traditions, to convey the act of confessing one's sins or faults with sincere regret. Due to its uncommon usage in modern Chinese and Japanese, it is often encountered only in specialized historical, religious, or literary documents.
