Pictograph of a human's heart.
About
The character 心 originated as a pictographic depiction of the human heart, with its modern form stylizing the organ into three dots and a curved line. Etymologically, it has consistently represented the heart, but its meaning expanded from the physical organ to encompass mental faculties, emotions, and the conceptual center of things. In its traditional form, which remains unchanged, 心 serves as a semantic component in numerous characters relating to internal states or psychological attributes.
