The kanji 恒 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). It combines the semantic component 忄 (りっしんべん - "heart" or "mind") with the phonetic component 亘 (わたる - "to extend," "to continue"). The meaning of "heart" or "mind" suggests that the character refers to mental state. 亘 indicates the sound and also the meaning of extension and continuity. Therefore, 恒 suggests something that is constant or lasting in one's heart or mind.
