U+9890 "颐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颐
U+9890 "颐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "chin," "jaw," or "cheek," and is also used in a broader sense to refer to the act of nourishing or taking care of oneself, as seen in the term "颐养" (yí yǎng) meaning to maintain one's health or to recuperate. This character is a standard part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs set, and in historical and philosophical contexts, it appears in classical texts such as the I Ching (Book of Changes), where it is associated with the concept of sustenance and well-being. Its structure combines the radical "页" (yè), meaning "head" or "page," with a phonetic component, reflecting its connection to the face and the idea of support and care.
