How to remember 悤
A chimney 囱 (cōng) sits on top of a heart 心 (xīn). Picture a heart puffing like a smoky chimney when you rush around, and the chimney also gives the sound cōng.
悤 is a rare variant of 匆 (cōng), so you will mostly see it in old texts, calligraphy, or names. In everyday modern Chinese, people write 匆, as in 匆匆忙忙 (cōngcōng mángmáng, in a great hurry). For example, 他匆匆走了 (tā cōngcōng zǒu le) means "He left in a hurry."
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 悤 in modern writing where standard Chinese expects 匆. Also, do not confuse it with 聪 (cōng, clever). That character has the same sound but a different meaning and an ear 耳 on the left.
