愃 (xuān) is a rare Chinese character meaning 'well-being' or 'comfort'. It combines the heart radical (忄) with 'declared' (宣), suggesting inner peace openly expressed. Unlike Western 'happiness' (often active joy), 愃 conveys a quiet, contented state similar to the Greek concept of eudaimonia—flourishing through harmony.
