What 惯 means
It marks learned familiarity, custom, or habitual practice.
Read it as guàn, the Mandarin pinyin pronunciation with a falling tone. It was formed for the habit sense, with 心, the heart radical, adding meaning and 貫 adding sound. A securely dated first inscription for exact 慣 is not established in the sources checked as of 2026.
Context can instead make 惯 a verb for spoiling someone, as in 娇惯.

Questions people ask
1Why does 惯 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
