U+980F "頏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

頏

U+980F "頏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to fly downward" or "to descend," often used in classical texts to describe the action of birds or objects moving from a higher to a lower position. It is composed of the radical 頁 (page, head) and the phonetic component 亢 (kàng), reflecting its historical connection to sound and semantic nuance. In modern usage, this character is rare but can be found in literature, poetry, and some specialized contexts, where it conveys a sense of graceful descent or lowering, sometimes metaphorically applied to human actions or attitudes. Its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese is "háng" (with a second tone) or occasionally "kàng," depending on the specific word or compound in which it appears.
