U+9855 "顕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

顕

U+9855 "顕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character primarily used in Japanese, where it serves as a simplified variant of the traditional Chinese character 顯, meaning "manifest," "clear," "appear," or "obvious." It is composed of the radical 頁 (page, head) and the phonetic element derived from other components, and in modern Japanese it appears in words like 顕著 (kencho, meaning "remarkable" or "prominent") and 顕示 (kenji, meaning "manifestation"). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, which standardizes characters shared across these writing systems, though its usage is most common in Japanese typography and texts.
