頬
U+982C "頬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified Japanese and occasionally in Chinese, primarily meaning "cheek." It represents the side of the face, often associated with expressions of emotion or action like slapping or blushing. In Japanese, it appears in words such as "頬っぺた" (hoppeta, meaning cheek) and "頬杖" (hoazue, meaning resting one's chin on one's hand). The character is composed of the radical for "page" or "head" (頁) on the left, suggesting a facial connection, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation. Its usage is common in everyday writing, literature, and even modern media, reflecting its role in conveying bodily expressions.
