U+9864 "顤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9864 "顤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for "head" or "page" (頁). It is historically used in classical Chinese texts to mean "to look up" or "to raise one's head," often conveying a sense of lofty or towering elevation. While its pronunciation in modern Mandarin is typically romanized as "yáo," the character is extremely obscure in contemporary usage, rarely appearing in everyday writing or standard dictionaries. Its structure combines the phonetic component "堯" (yáo), meaning "high" or "eminent," with the semantic radical for head, reinforcing the connotation of upward physical or metaphorical reaching.
