The Chinese characters 忆 meaning is recall; remember; reflect.

The phonetic: 意 denotes sound (音) in the heart or mind (心), i.e. intention or thought. The addition of another heart (the radical, 忄) to thought (意) suggests to think again - to reflect or remember. As a mnemonic aid, the simplified character form combines heart (忄) with second (乙) producing 忆.
