The kanji 惇 is a 形声文字(けいせいもじ - *keisei moji* - phono-semantic compound), meaning it combines a semantic component (meaning) and a phonetic component (sound). The left side is the radical of the heart, 忄(りっしんべん *risshinben*), which gives the character the meaning of "heart" or "mind," indicating that it is related to emotions and character. The right side is 享(きょう *kyō*), which is used phonetically to indicate the sound ジュン(jun). Therefore, the character combines the idea of the heart and its associated qualities with a phonetic element.
