U+9856 "顖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
顖
U+9856 "顖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, primarily used in classical Chinese texts. This character is composed of the "頁" (page or head) radical on the right side, combined with a left component that suggests a connection to the concept of "thinking" or "mind," often interpreted as meaning "fontanelle" or the soft spot on an infant's skull, or in a broader sense, the brain or intellect. Its usage is mostly historical and literary, appearing in ancient documents and dictionaries rather than in modern everyday writing, and it represents a specific, nuanced aspect of traditional Chinese character formation.
