The kanji 恨 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It is composed of two parts: the "heart" radical (忄, ⺗, kokoro) on the left side, which represents emotion, and the phonetic component 艮 (gon) on the right side. 艮 originally depicted a human eye that looks at something. The combination suggests that the emotion associated with a grudging eye, or that the emotional response from seeing something, which is a feeling of resentment or bitterness. Therefore, the formation of the kanji is a combination that reflects the emotional state of "resentment" and "hatred".
