About
恒 (héng), meaning permanence or constancy, is a phono-semantic compound. The left-side radical 忄 (xīn), representing the heart, anchors the character in emotional and mental states like willpower and endurance. The right component 亘 (gèn) depicts the sun moving between the sky's boundaries, providing both the pronunciation and the idea of a continuous stretch through time or space. Its traditional form 恆 uses the visually similar component 亙 but shares the same sense of spanning. The character thus defines steadfastness and eternal duration, often appearing in philosophical terms for unchanging principles or lasting virtues.
