yearn for, aspire to, admire
憬 centers on a deep emotional longing directed toward something admired: yearning for an ideal, aspiring to reach it, or looking up to it with admiration.
憬 combines 忄 (heart) with 景, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of a bright scene or prospect, suggesting a heart drawn toward something admired.
The heart radical 忄 beside 景 (scene, view) paints a picture of a heart gazing at a distant, beautiful landscape, yearning to reach it.
For ケイ, imagine a person named Kay standing on a hill, yearning for the distant view: Kay -> ケイ, and her heart 憬 longs for that scene.
