U+9895 "颕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颕
U+9895 "颕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both traditional and simplified forms, though it is more common in traditional Japanese contexts as a variant of the character "頴" (or "穎"). It typically denotes the tip of something sharp, such as an awl or a grain head, and extends metaphorically to concepts like cleverness, sharpness of mind, or outstanding talent, as in the word "颕悟" (yǐngwù) meaning acute intelligence. In modern usage, this character appears primarily in classical literature, calligraphy, and specialized vocabulary rather than in everyday Chinese or Japanese writing, and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block to facilitate digital representation across East Asian text systems.
