頤

This ideograph is composed of the radical "頁" on the right, representing the head or face, and the phonetic component "巳" on the left, and it is used in classical and modern East Asian scripts, including traditional Chinese and Japanese Kanji, where it appears in words and idioms concerning facial anatomy, self-care, or philosophical concepts of tranquility.
