The kanji 悦 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It is composed of two parts: The left side is 忄 (りっしんべん - risshinben), which is a simplified form of 心 (kokoro) meaning "heart" or "mind," indicating emotion. The right side is 兑 (だつ - datsu), which is the phonetic component, suggesting the sound and perhaps also a related meaning. The combination of these parts creates a character representing a feeling of happiness or joy in the heart.
