Character Story & Explanation
Excavated from ancient texts, 悁 (juān) is a rare character meaning 'angry' or 'irritated'. Its structure combines 忄 (heart radical) with 肙 (yuān, a phonetic), suggesting a heart in distress. Found in classical literature like the Book of Songs, it describes inner fury rather than outward rage. Its usage declined after the Han dynasty, making it a relic of emotional expression.
