<upd_detl>Note on 想 – which is the most used variant.
I’ve marked the variants as [iK] – dunno exactly what the criterion for [iK] is (just mailed list), but only 思う appears in major dictionaries (想う appears in some minor ones, but marked with a triangle).</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>meikyo has the best usage notes:
【表記】 (1)「想う」は、主に心にイメージを描く意で「幼少のころを想う」「想う人はもういない」などと使うが、今は一般に「思う」でまかなう。 (2)忘れないで思う意で「▽憶う」、懐かしく思い出すといった意味合いで「▽懐う」、心を傾注して考える意で「▼惟う」、心中深くかみしめて思う、念じる意で「▽念う」とも書き、それぞれ「過ぎし日のことを憶う」「故郷を懐う」「人世の無常を惟う」「仏を念って仏道に帰依する／幸いあれと念う」などと使うが、これも今は「思う」でまかなう。

i'll leave it up to Jim to decide what note should be added.  i'm not sure any necessarily needs to be added.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>koj, daijr, daijs, meikyo have all of these headwords.  none are iK.  adding 惟う from meikyo</upd_refs>

also for 嬉しく思う I think "I'm happy (about x)" is maybe a
