情

Phono-semantic compound:

心 (심) – semantic component, meaning “heart” or “mind,” showing that this character deals with emotions;

靑 (청) – phonetic component, lending the sound “정.”

Originally, it indicated “the state of the heart,” which naturally broadened to feelings, emotions, and sentiments.

It appears in many common words:

감정 (感情) – emotion;

정의 (情誼) – affection, bond;

동정 (同情) – sympathy.

情 is an extremely familiar hanja in Korea — even appearing on the packaging of Orion Choco Pie (초코파이 情), where it conveys warmth, affection, and caring emotion.

In mainland China, Hong Kong (based on its educational standard), Japanese kanji and Vietnamese Hán Nôm, the bottom right component is written ⺝ with a vertical 丨 left stroke.

In Taiwan, the bottom right component is written 月 with a curved 丿 left stroke.

In Korean hanja, the bottom right component is written 円 which is the historical form found in the Kangxi Dictionary.
