U+987F "顿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to pause," "to stop," "to settle," or "a time" (as in a measure word for meals, actions, or reprimands), and it also carries a literal sense of "to bow the head" or "to stamp the foot." In modern usage, it is commonly found in words like 顿时 (dùnshí, meaning "immediately"), 停顿 (tíngdùn, meaning "to pause" or "stagnation"), and 整顿 (zhěngdùn, meaning "to reorganize" or "to rectify"). Historically, the character derives from components meaning "page" or "head" (页) and "shelter" or "to store" (屯), reflecting its original association with bowing and pausing. It is an integral part of both written and spoken Chinese, appearing in contexts ranging from daily conversation to formal administrative vocabulary.
