U+983E "頾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
頾
U+983E "頾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily refers to the beard or whiskers on a person's face, specifically the hair growing on the cheeks or chin. It is composed of the radical for "head" or "page" (页) combined with the phonetic component "此" (ci), though it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin and appears more frequently in classical or literary texts, where it may also be written as a variant of the character "髭" (zī). Encoding errors or font limitations sometimes cause it to display as a substitute glyph, but its definition remains tied to facial hair in historical Chinese writing.
