Now Out: Essay 1282 on 懇 (friendly, intimate; kind, wholehearted)

This kanji has to do with informal gatherings, so you'll learn to say, "There will be a PTA meeting next weekend." The character also means "intimate," as in "I have intimately known many people who were immersed in the arts" and "I've known him very well for a long time." When 懇 stands for "wholehearted," it factors into sentences such as "They appealed to us for help" and "She begged for mercy."
