Mnemonic
温 wēn "warm" + 馨 xīn "fragrant": a warm, fragrant feeling, i.e. cozy, heartwarming, tender. Korean renders it as "warmth, coziness, tenderness". The snug, heart-melting feeling in a home, atmosphere or relationship (温馨的家 a cozy home, 温馨提示 a kind reminder). Adding 馨 "fragrance" to mere warmth (温暖) gives a subtly heart-warming emotional warmth. 温 means "warm" (温暖, 温柔); 馨 means "fragrant" (馨香).
