U+984F "顏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+984F "顏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes the concept of "face" or "countenance," referring to the physical front of the head including the eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as metaphorically extending to notions of reputation, honor, or prestige in East Asian cultures. This ideograph belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it may appear in compounds like "顔色" (yánsè, meaning "color of the face" or "complexion") or "顔面" (yánmiàn, meaning "face" as an abstract social concept). Its structure combines the radical "頁" (meaning "head" or "page") with "彥" (a phonetic component), reflecting its semantic and phonetic roles in logographic writing. Historically, the character has been employed in classical texts and modern usage alike, symbolizing both literal facial features and intangible social attributes such as dignity or shame.
