About
悃 is a phono-semantic compound: the heart radical 忄 on the left indicates the meaning, while the phonetic component 困 on the right supplies the pronunciation. The heart radical places the character within the realm of inner feelings, specifically sincerity, genuineness, and earnestness of thought. The character expresses true, unfiltered emotions and frequently appears in classical compounds to describe an honest disposition or an earnest plea devoid of superficiality or deception.
