About
A phono-semantic compound, 悃 consists of the semantic heart radical 忄 on the left, indicating a connection to inner feelings, and the phonetic component 困 on the right, which provides its pronunciation. The character conveys the meaning of sincerity and earnestness, describing genuine, unfiltered thoughts or intentions. It often appears in classical texts to denote a person's honest disposition or a heartfelt plea, free from superficiality or deception.
