U+9594 "閔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9594 "閔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "to grieve," "to mourn," "to pity," or "to be concerned about," and it can also denote a surname, most famously associated with the ancient Confucian sage Mencius, whose given name was Meng Ke but whose courtesy name was Ziyu, though the character itself appears in classical texts to express deep compassion or condolence. Structurally composed of the radical "門" (gate) and the phonetic component "文" (text, culture), it visually suggests a sense of enclosure or reflection tied to sorrowful thoughts. In modern usage, it is primarily encountered in formal or historical contexts, such as in names, idioms, or literary references, rather than in everyday conversation.
