U+98A1 "颡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颡
U+98A1 "颡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the forehead or the front part of the head. In Classical Chinese and modern usage, it appears in literary or technical contexts, such as in medical terminology for the frontal bone or in phrases like "suppliant with forehead to the ground" denoting deep respect. The character is composed of the radical for "page" or "head" (页) on the right and the phonetic component (桑, meaning mulberry) on the left, reflecting its logographic structure. Its usage is less common in everyday simplified Chinese but remains present in historical texts, formal writing, and certain compound words.
