U+9837 "頷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

頷

U+9837 "頷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and classical texts, representing the concept of "chin" or "jaw," specifically the lower part of the face including the chin and jawline. It can also function as a verb meaning "to nod" or "to agree," as in the phrase 頷首 (hàn shǒu), which denotes a nodding gesture of approval or acknowledgment. In historical contexts, such as in literary works like the *Zhuangzi*, it appears in metaphorical descriptions of physical states or subtle expressions of consent. This character is classified under the radical 頁 (page or head) and is distinct from its simplified counterpart or other similar-looking glyphs due to its specific stroke composition and semantic range in East Asian writing systems.
