U+9838 "頸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9838 "頸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily represents the concept of the neck or throat. It is composed of the radical for "page" or "head" (頁) on the right side, suggesting a connection to the head or body part, and the left component (巠) which contributes phonetic and semantic nuances related to a passage or channel. In traditional Chinese and Japanese contexts, this character appears in words describing physical anatomy such as the neck, as well as in compound terms like "necklace" or "cervical," and it is also used in classical literature and medical terminology. Its strokes follow standard CJK writing conventions, and the character has been encoded in Unicode as part of the unified Han script to ensure cross-platform representation for East Asian languages.
