U+7FA1 "羡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7FA1 "羡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily meaning "to envy" or "to admire," though it can also carry connotations of "surplus" or "excess" in classical contexts. Composed of the radical for "sheep" (羊) and phonetic components, it is frequently used in modern Chinese vocabulary such as "羡慕" (xiànmù, meaning "to envy") and appears in Classical Chinese texts like the "Zhuangzi." The character is distinct from its simplified counterpart "羡," which shares the same form in writing but may differ in regional usage, with the Unicode standard unifying both traditional and simplified glyphs under this single code point. In East Asian cultures, it often expresses a neutral or positive sense of longing or admiration rather than purely negative jealousy.
