Character Story & Explanation
惝 (chǎng) means 'disappointed, frustrated, or dejected.' It combines the heart radical 忄 (heart/mind) with 尚 (still, yet), suggesting a lingering emotional state of dissatisfaction. In classical Chinese, it often appears in compound 惝恍 (chǎnghuǎng) to describe a feeling of loss or confusion. Though less common in modern usage, it retains a literary, poetic flavor.
