U+988F "颏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+988F "颏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the chin or the lower part of the face, often used in anatomical or poetic contexts. It is composed of the radical "页" (page or head) and the phonetic component "亥", and it appears in traditional as well as simplified Chinese writing systems. In modern usage, it may be encountered in terms like "下巴颏" (xiàba kē), meaning the chin, and it also appears in Japanese kanji as "顎" with a similar meaning. The character thus carries a consistent semantic focus on facial anatomy across East Asian languages.
