About
The traditional form 憂 centers the heart radical 心 to convey emotion, flanked by a head (頁) and foot (夊) that evoke a person burdened in spirit. Its simplified form 忧 combines the vertical heart radical 忄 with the phonetic element 尤 (yóu). Both structures express psychological distress, encompassing anxiety, worry, sorrow, and grief. In modern usage, the character commonly describes deep-seated emotional concerns, mental burdens, or apprehension about future or present difficulties.
