Character Story & Explanation
悒 (yì) is a character meaning 'anxiety' or 'worry'. It combines the heart radical 忄 (心) with 邑 (yì, 'city'), but the phonetic component 邑 hints at the pronunciation. This character appears in classical texts and modern expressions like 忧悒 (yōuyì, 'anxious, melancholy'). It's less common than 忧, used mainly in literary contexts.
