About
愠 is the simplified version of the traditional 慍. It belongs to the phono-semantic category: the left side is the semantic radical 忄, a variant of 心 'heart', signaling that the character's meaning lies in the domain of emotions or inner states. The right side in the simplified form is 昷, which replaces the traditional phonetic 𥁕; both provide the sound yùn. Semantically, 愠 conveys a sense of indignation, hidden resentment, or suppressed anger, an emotion that simmers internally rather than being openly vented.
