U+980C "頌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
頌
U+980C "頌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "praise," "eulogy," or "hymn," and it is used in various East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it can denote a song of praise or a section of the Chinese classic "Book of Songs." Its composition combines the radical for "page" or "head" (頁) with the phonetic component "公," reflecting a historical association with public acclaim or ceremonial recitation. In modern contexts, it appears in compound words related to honoring achievements or religious devotion, such as in terms for "ode" or "benediction," and it retains a formal, reverent tone in both written and spoken usage across cultures that employ Sinographic writing systems.
