Unicode Version 17.0
頡
U+9821 "頡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to fly upward" or "to ascend," and it also carries the connotation of "side" or "slanting" in certain contexts. This character is composed of the semantic component "頁" (which relates to the head or page) and the phonetic component "吉" (meaning auspicious), reflecting its origins in the Chinese writing system where it is used in classical texts and modern vocabulary for concepts like flight or oblique motion. It appears in various East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, each with its own pronunciation and specific usage, such as in the Japanese name "Kei" or the Chinese term "頡頏" meaning "to rival" or "to compete."
