About
The character "忏" finds its origin in the traditional form "懺", which was constructed by combining the semantic heart radical "心" with the phonetic element "韱" to specifically denote the act of repentance within Buddhist tradition, reflecting the Sanskrit concept of confession. Over centuries, its semantic scope widened from strictly religious contexts to encompass a more general expression of regret or remorse in everyday language. The simplified form "忏" structurally preserves the heart radical in its side form "忄" but substitutes the original complex phonetic with "千", thereby streamlining the character while continuing to associate it with internal reflection and moral accountability.
