(common “Jōyō” kanji)

1. longing, yearning

From Middle Chinese 憧 (MC t͡ɕʰɨoŋ):

• Go-on: しゅ (shu)^{←しゆ (syu, historical)}
• Kan-on: しょう (shō, Jōyō)^{←しよう (syou, historical)}

From Middle Chinese 憧 (MC ɖˠʌŋ^H):

• Go-on: どう (dō)
• Kan-on: とう (tō)^{←たう (tau, historical)}
• Kan’yō-on: どう (dō)

Readings shared by both kanji:

• Kun: あこがれる (akogareru, 憧れる, Jōyō); あこがらす (akogarasu, 憧らす)

• 憧憬 (しょうけい) (shōkei), 憧憬 (どうけい) (dōkei, “longing, yearning”)

• Some dictionaries apparently classify the dō reading as kan'yō-on only, despite the second borrowing from Middle Chinese 憧 (MC ɖˠʌŋ^H).
