The kanji 情 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is the radical 忄 (りっしんべん, risshinben), which represents the "heart" or "mind." The right side is 青 (sei), which originally meant "blue" or "green," but in this case functions phonetically, indicating the sound of the character. The combination suggests something related to the state of mind, emphasizing the emotional aspect. The character evolved over time, solidifying its association with feelings and sentiments.
